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}

2	Review of Key Concepts	5	Review how to simplify rational expressions, ensuring all students recall necessary skills.
3	Direct Instruction	10	Demonstrate the steps for dividing rational expressions, including working through an example.
4	Guided Practice	5	Work through one or two problems as a class, allowing students to contribute and ask questions.
5	Independent Practice	5	Hand out worksheets with practice problems for students to complete independently.
6	Conclusion and Homework	5	Summarize key points of the lesson and assign homework without requiring any presentations.

Homework

• Assign a worksheet with division of rational expressions for further practice.
• Students will turn in the homework at the beginning of the next class. No presentations will be required, and the teacher will check homework at their desks.

Assessment

• Monitor students' understanding during guided practice.
• Review worksheet responses to assess individual understanding of the topic.
• Provide feedback on homework during the following class session.

Additional Notes

• Ensure to accommodate different learning styles by providing visual aids and allowing for small group discussions.
• Be prepared to offer additional help to students who may struggle with the concepts.
