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 (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Variables	5	Briefly explain what a variable is, using examples (like `x` in `x + 3 = 5`). Engage students with questions.
2	Introducing Simple Equations	5	Explain what a simple equation is. Provide examples and demonstrate solving with addition and subtraction.
3	Guided Practice	10	Work on a few examples as a class. Use the whiteboard for demonstration. Encourage student participation.
4	Independent Practice	5	Distribute worksheets with problems for students to solve independently. Walk around to assist as needed.
5	Homework Assignment	3	Explain the homework assignment (additional problems to reinforce learning) and stress that it will be checked.
6	Wrap-Up	2	Recap the main points of the lesson. Encourage questions and clarify any doubts before concluding the class.

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on understanding the properties of operations and solving equations.

Homework Check

The homework will be collected at the beginning of the next class, and feedback will be provided in written form without asking students to present their work in front of the class.
