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 Compliance

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, particularly standards related to writing and interpreting algebraic expressions and solving equations.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Briefly introduce the topic and objectives of the lesson. Engage students with a question related to their prior knowledge of algebra.
2	Direct Instruction	10 minutes	Explain properties of algebraic expressions (e.g., associative, commutative). Use examples on the whiteboard to demonstrate simplicity and evaluation.
3	Guided Practice	10 minutes	Work through practice problems on the board, involving the whole class in solving these together. Solicit answers but avoid calling on individuals.
4	Independent Practice	3 minutes	Distribute practice handouts and allow students to work independently on a few problems. Ensure they understand the process of simplifying and solving equations.
5	Wrap-Up and Homework	2 minutes	Quickly recap what the students learned. Assign homework that builds on the lesson content, and explain that it will be checked but not presented in front of the class.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet that includes problems on evaluating and simplifying algebraic expressions and solving linear equations.
• Students should bring their completed worksheets to the next class for checking.

Assessment

• Informal assessment will occur through observation during guided practice and independent practice.
• Homework will also serve as a formal assessment of understanding.

Additional Notes

• Be prepared to assist students who may struggle during independent practice.
• Encourage collaboration by allowing students to discuss problems among themselves as they work.
