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}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Order of Operations

Topic

Order of Operations

Objectives

Understand the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
Apply the order of operations to solve mathematical expressions correctly.
Collaborate with peers to discuss problem-solving strategies.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Handouts with practice problems
Graphing calculators (optional)
Projector for presenting slides (if needed)

Grade/Age Group

Grade 10

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

Lesson Duration

30 minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics, specifically:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.SSE.A.1: Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Introduce the topic of order of operations. Explain the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS. Discuss why the order of operations is important in solving expressions.
2	Direct Instruction	10	Explain each part of the acronym (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction). Use simple examples to illustrate each operation.
3	Guided Practice	10	Distribute practice problems. Work through a few problems as a class, encouraging student participation to reinforce understanding.
4	Independent Practice	5	Students will complete additional practice problems individually. They can consult their peers for help but should focus on independent work.
5	Homework Review	5	Collect homework from the previous lesson and quickly review answers. Provide brief feedback without individual presentations to ensure a supportive environment.

Homework Assignment

Assign a set of problems requiring the application of the order of operations. Ensure that these problems progressively increase in difficulty and require students to justify their steps. Students will submit their homework next class for review and feedback.

Assessment

Monitor student participation during guided practice.
Check homework for understanding of the topic.
Evaluate independent practice problems to assess individual comprehension of the order of operations.

Additional Notes

Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson and to share any strategies they find helpful. Create a supportive classroom environment where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities.
