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 min	Begin with a brief introduction to triangles, including their properties. Discuss the concept of area and its importance in real-life applications.
2	Formula Introduction	5 min	Introduce the area formula for triangles: Area = 1/2 x base x height. Provide visual aids to illustrate how to identify base and height.
3	Guided Practice	10 min	Distribute worksheets with example problems. Work through the first example together, then let students solve the next example in pairs.
4	Independent Practice	5 min	Allow students to work individually on the remaining problems on their worksheets. Walk around to provide support as needed.
5	Review and Check Homework	5 min	Regroup and discuss the worksheets. Check homework by going over answers as a class, ensuring every student understands without individual presentations.

Assessment

• Monitor student understanding during guided and independent practice.
• Collect worksheets to evaluate understanding and provide feedback.

Homework

• Students will be assigned a worksheet to reinforce the area of a triangle. This will be checked in the next lesson without individual presentations.
