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 Plan: Factoring in Mathematics

Topic

Factoring

Grade/Age Group

Grade 6

Subject

Mathematics

Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Objectives

• Students will understand the concept of factoring expressions.
• Students will be able to factor simple quadratic expressions.
• Students will practice factoring through guided and independent exercises.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Factoring worksheets
• Examples of factored and unfactored forms

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, particularly in the area of Expressions and Equations (6.EE.A.2).

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the topic of factoring; explain its relevance and applications in solving equations.
2	Guided Practice	10 min	Work through examples of factoring on the whiteboard with student participation. Demonstrate factoring a couple of simple quadratic expressions.
3	Independent Practice	10 min	Distribute worksheets with factoring problems for students to complete individually. Circulate the room to provide assistance as needed.
4	Homework Assignment	2 min	Explain the homework assignment where students practice factoring additional problems at home. Collect the exit tickets with sticky notes for feedback.
5	Conclusion and Review	3 min	Review key concepts and answer any remaining questions. Briefly go over the correct answers to the homework without having students present their work.

Assessment

• Monitor student progress during guided and independent practice.
• Collect worksheets for evaluation after the lesson.
• Use exit tickets to assess student understanding of the lesson.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet with additional factoring problems to solidify their understanding of the concept. This will be collected in the next lesson for review.

Notes

• Ensure accommodations are made for any students needing additional support.
• Use positive reinforcement to encourage participation throughout the lesson.
