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 (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Exponentials	10	Introduce the concept of exponents. Discuss base and exponent with examples.
2	Guided Practice	15	Work through several problems as a class using the whiteboard. Engage students in solving examples of simplifying expressions.
3	Independent Practice	10	Distribute handouts with practice problems. Students work independently while the teacher circulates to provide support.
4	Real-World Applications	5	Discuss real-world scenarios where exponential notation is relevant (e.g., population growth, interest).
5	Homework Assignment	5	Explain the homework assignment, ensuring all students understand the expectations without presentations. Collect homework from the previous lesson for quick checking.
6	Q&A and Wrap-Up	5	Allow time for questions and summarize the key points learned in the lesson.

Homework

• Assign problems from the textbook related to exponential notation for further practice, ensuring that the homework supports the lesson objectives.
• Collect previous homework without requiring students to present it in front of the class.

Assessment

• Monitor student understanding through observations during guided and independent practice.
• Review homework for comprehension and correctness in the next class.

Additional Notes

• Ensure accommodations are available for students who may require them.
• Use varied questioning techniques to engage all students in discussions throughout the lesson.
