Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Briefly introduce the agenda and objectives of today's lesson. Encourage students to share their feelings about starting high school.
2	Review of Previous Homework	5 minutes	Collect and check homework without presentations. Go through common mistakes or interesting solutions as a group discussion.
3	Connecting Concepts	10 minutes	Discuss how different mathematical concepts, such as fractions, decimals, and percentages, are related. Utilize a real-life example to illustrate these connections.
4	Group Activity	7 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Provide them with problem sets that require them to apply connections to solve. Facilitate discussions on their approaches.
5	Class Discussion	2 minutes	Regroup and ask each group to share one interesting connection they discovered during the activity.
6	Conclusion and Homework Assignment	1 minute	Summarize key points from the lesson, including connections made. Assign practice problems for homework that reinforce the concepts discussed.

Assessment

• Informal assessment during group activities and discussions.
• Review and feedback on homework assignments to monitor individual understanding and progress.

Homework

• Complete the provided practice worksheet focused on the connections between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Students should solve a set of word problems that apply these concepts in real-life situations.

Adaptations

• Provide additional support materials for students who may struggle with the concepts.
• Challenge advanced students with extra problems that require deeper thinking and connections.

Reflection

• After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future iterations of this lesson. Collect feedback from students if possible to inform adjustments.
