Create a lesson with independent practice to introduce fractions for special education students that are 3 to 4 grade levels behind the 5th grade.

This learning resource focuses on understanding fractions as representations of equal parts of a whole. It illustrates the concept through relatable examples, such as pizza and candy bars, to help students visualize and grasp the idea effectively. The resource encourages interaction by prompting learners to identify fractions using shapes and to practice multiplying fractions with the aid of models. It provides a structured approach to multiplying a whole number by a fraction, guiding students through modeling, drawing, and solving problems independently. Various practice problems reinforce the concept, allowing students to show their work and express answers in simplest form.
