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 to Polygons	5 mins	Introduce the concept of polygons. Define polygons and provide examples of both regular and irregular polygons. Give a brief overview of their properties.
2	Types of Polygons	10 mins	Discuss the different types of polygons by the number of sides (triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, etc.). Use visuals to aid understanding.
3	Properties of Polygons	5 mins	Explain properties such as angles, sides, and vertices. Differentiate between regular and irregular polygons.
4	Interactive Activity	5 mins	Distribute worksheets for students to identify and classify various polygons. Include a section for them to draw their own polygons.
5	Review and Reflect	3 mins	Summarise the key points from the lesson. Ask students to share one thing they learned about polygons.
6	Homework Assignment	2 mins	Assign homework that requires students to find examples of polygons in their environment. Explain correction will be done without student presentations.

Homework Assignment

Students will be asked to take pictures of at least three different types of polygons they find around their home or community. They will submit these along with a brief description of the type of polygon and its properties.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during activities.
• Review of worksheets collected at the end of the lesson.
• Homework assignment will be marked for understanding and completion without the need for student presentations.

Additional Notes

Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson and ensure a supportive environment for all levels of understanding. Adapt materials for students who may require additional support.
