| 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} |

Any grade level (suitable for students aged 10-15)
Mathematics
20 students
30 minutes
This lesson corresponds to the national curriculum for mathematics, focusing on geometry and measurement.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Area | 5 | Introduce the concept of area; discuss why it's important and where it's found in real life. |
| 2 | Area of Rectangles/Squares | 10 | Explain the formula for area (A = length × width). Demonstrate calculations with examples on the board. |
| 3 | Area of Triangles | 5 | Present the formula for the area of a triangle (A = 1/2 × base × height). Provide a demonstration with an example. |
| 4 | Guided Practice | 5 | Distribute handouts with practice problems. Walk around to provide guidance and answer questions. |
| 5 | Independent Practice | 3 | Allow students to work independently on a set of problems focused on calculating area. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 2 | Assign homework that reinforces lesson concepts (practice calculating areas of various shapes). Ensure homework will be completed and checked without student presentations. |
