| 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} |

This lesson corresponds to the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics at Key Stage 3, focusing on the understanding of algebraic manipulation and the distributive property.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Briefly introduce the lesson topic and objectives. Use examples of where the distributive property is applicable. |
| 2 | Explanation of the Distributive Property | 10 | Explain the distributive property with clear examples on the whiteboard. Show how to apply it to algebraic expressions. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 | Provide guided practice problems on the whiteboard. Solve examples together as a class, reinforcing the process. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Give students worksheets for independent practice. Encourage them to solve problems using the distributive property. |
| 5 | Homework Assignment Overview | 5 | Review the homework assignment related to the lesson and ensure understanding. Inform students that it will be checked but not presented. |
Students will complete a worksheet that includes problems on simplifying expressions using the distributive property, which will be checked for completion during the next lesson.
Formative assessment will be carried out through observation during guided and independent practice, along with the review of homework to gauge understanding and areas for improvement.
