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 Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Briefly introduce the topic of algebra, its relevance, and objectives of the lesson. Use examples to illustrate.
2	Explanation of Concepts	10 mins	Define algebraic expressions and provide examples. Explain the process of simplifying expressions, using clear, step-by-step examples on the whiteboard.
3	Guided Practice	5 mins	Distribute worksheets with a few simple examples. Work through the first example as a class, facilitating discussion and ensuring understanding.
4	Independent Practice	5 mins	Allow students to work on a few problems individually. Circulate to provide support and feedback as needed.
5	Review and Summary	5 mins	Review the key concepts covered during the lesson. Answer any questions and clarify misunderstandings.
6	Homework Assignment	0 mins	Assign homework that includes additional practice problems based on the lesson content. Explain that homework will be checked for completion without presentations.

Assessment

• Continuous assessment through observation during guided and independent practice.
• Homework completion will be assessed for understanding of the material.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet of algebraic expressions and equations for the next lesson.
• Encourage students to reflect on what they found challenging and bring questions to the next class without needing to present their homework.

Additional Notes
