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}

Topic

Inverse Operations and Fact Families

Objectives

• Understand the concept of inverse operations (addition and subtraction, multiplication and division).
• Identify and create fact families using given numbers.
• Solve basic equations involving inverse operations.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets with fact family exercises
• Number cards
• Interactive math games (optional)
• Timer for timed activities

Grade/Age Group

Primary School (Grades 3-5)

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

The lesson aligns with the Australian Mathematics Curriculum, specifically focusing on Number and Algebra content, including recognizing and applying inverse operations in mathematical problems.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Briefly explain inverse operations, using examples (e.g., 2 + 3 = 5 and 5 - 3 = 2) to introduce the concept.
2	Direct Instruction	10 mins	Teach students about fact families using a set of numbers. Show how to create addition and subtraction facts from the same numbers.
3	Guided Practice	5 mins	Distribute worksheets. Work through the first few problems together as a class with the help of the whiteboard.
4	Independent Practice	5 mins	Students complete the worksheet individually. Encourage them to use their number cards to help create fact families.
5	Interactive Game (Optional)	3 mins	Use an interactive math game that focuses on inverse operations to reinforce learning in a fun way.
6	Review and Wrap-up	2 mins	Summarize key points of the lesson. Remind students about the connection between addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. Discuss homework.
7	Homework Assignment	0 mins	Assign a worksheet for homework that involves creating fact families and solving problems using inverse operations.

Homework Assignment

• Students will complete a worksheet that focuses on creating fact families and practicing inverse operations.
• The homework will be checked the following day without requiring students to present in front of the class.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during guided practice.
• Review completed worksheets for understanding of concepts.
• Use informal observation during independent practice and interactive game.

Adaptations

• Provide additional support for students who struggle with concepts by pairing them with peers.
• Offer challenging problems for advanced learners, such as introducing more numbers into their fact families.

Reflection

• After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future classes based on student engagement and understanding.
