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}

Correspondence with National Curriculum

• This lesson meets the Australian Curriculum standards for Mathematics by focusing on number and algebra, specifically the recognition of the role of addition in daily life and its foundational concept in mathematics.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Addition	5	Discuss the concept of addition and present an addition problem on the board. Use objects to demonstrate visual counting.
2	Guided Practice	10	Work through several addition problems together. Use flashcards to facilitate quick responses and engage students. Allow students to use counters to solidify their understanding.
3	Independent Practice	10	Distribute worksheets with addition problems. Allow students to work independently or in pairs. Circulate the room to provide support and answer questions.
4	Review and Feedback	5	Review key concepts of addition. Quickly check the worksheets while giving feedback, ensuring students understand their mistakes without class presentations.
5	Homework Assignment	5	Assign homework that includes additional practice problems and an application of addition in a word problem context. Provide instructions clearly.

Homework

• Complete additional addition worksheets focusing on both single and double-digit problems.
• Solve a word problem involving addition and write a short explanation of how the problem was solved.

Assessment

• Monitor student engagement and understanding throughout guided and independent practice.
• Review completed worksheets for accuracy and provide individual feedback.
• Assess understanding through participation and group collaboration during class discussions.

Differentiation

• Offer more challenging problems for faster learners or additional support for students who may find addition difficult. Use pairing to foster peer support.

Closure

• Recap the importance of addition in daily life and discuss how it compounds with other mathematical operations. Encourage students to share their homework experiences in the next lesson without needing to present it formally.
