| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

National curriculum: This lesson corresponds to the national curriculum by strengthening students' numeracy skills and exposing them to various mathematical concepts and patterns. The fun facts about numbers also help broaden students' understanding of the cultural and historical significance of mathematics.
Homework: Hand out a worksheet with some interesting problems involving number concepts learned in class, such as calculating the sum of the first 1000 prime numbers or finding the golden ratio using Fibonacci numbers. Homework will be collected, checked, and graded without presentation.
Assessment: Students will be assessed through their participation in the group discussion, their ability to answer the calculator activity and the homework assignment.
