| 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} |

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum requirements for Key Stage 3 Mathematics, focusing on algebraic reasoning and problem-solving.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Equations | 5 mins | Introduce the concept of equations. Discuss the importance of equations in mathematics and real life. Provide examples. |
| 2 | Components of Equations | 5 mins | Explain the components of an equation (variables, constants, coefficients). Use examples. |
| 3 | Solving Basic Equations | 10 mins | Demonstrate how to solve simple equations step-by-step. Solve one example together as a class. |
| 4 | Guided Practice | 5 mins | Distribute worksheets. Allow students to work on 2-3 equations with teacher support. Move around the classroom to assist students. |
| 5 | Real-World Applications | 3 mins | Discuss how equations can represent real-life situations. Provide one or two examples for students to relate to. |
| 6 | Wrap-up and Homework | 2 mins | Summarise key points of the lesson. Assign homework to solve a set of equations and real-world problems as practice. |
Students will be given a worksheet containing a variety of equations to solve, as well as a few real-life problems that can be represented as equations to reinforce the lesson objectives. Homework will be checked for completion without students presenting it in front of the class, ensuring a stress-free review process.
