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 Alignment

This lesson aligns with the national curriculum focus on the history of mathematics and the contributions of key figures in the field.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce Legendre and Lambert, outlining their significance in mathematics.
2	Biographical Overview	10	Present a summary of their biographies, including key milestones and personal anecdotes.
3	Contributions	10	Discuss their major contributions, focusing on specific theories or theorems attributed to each mathematician.
4	Class Discussion	3	Facilitate a discussion on how their work influences modern mathematics and its applications.
5	Homework Assignment	2	Explain the homework, asking students to write a short report on one contribution of either mathematician.

Homework

• Assign a short report (1-2 pages) on one significant mathematical contribution of either Legendre or Lambert. Students should reference at least two sources and include their own analysis of the impact of the contribution.
• Ensure students turn in their homework via email or a designated submission box for review, without requiring presentations in class.
