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 (min)	Details
1	Introduction to Variables	5	Explain what a variable is and introduce the concept of 'x' in equations.
2	Demonstration of Solving	10	Solve a simple equation on the board (e.g., x + 5 = 10) and demonstrate isolating x.
3	Guided Practice	10	Provide students with 2-3 problems to solve in pairs while circulating to assist.
4	Independent Practice	5	Distribute worksheets with additional problems; students solve individually.
5	Homework Assignment	0	Assign homework related to the lesson for practice at home, check completion but do not request presentations.

Assessment

• Monitor student understanding during guided practice through observation and questioning.
• Review the completed worksheets to assess individual student understanding of solving for x.
• Homework will be collected and checked for completion, with feedback provided.

Conclusion

Students will have the opportunity to solidify their understanding of solving for x through a combination of direct instruction, collaborative practice, and independent work. The lesson's structure is designed to engage students while ensuring they have the necessary skills to progress in their study of algebra.
