Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the topic of dividing exponents and review previous concepts related to exponents.
2	Direct Instruction	15	Explain the rules for dividing exponents (a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m-n)) with examples on the whiteboard. Demonstrate how these rules apply in various scenarios.
3	Guided Practice	10	Work through a few problems together as a class, asking students for their input on each step.
4	Independent Practice	10	Distribute worksheets with problems on dividing exponents for students to work on individually. Circulate to assist students as needed.
5	Homework Consideration	5	Review the homework assignment and clarify any questions regarding the problems assigned. Ensure students understand how to complete it without needing to present in front of the class.
6	Closure and Review	5	Summarize the key points of the lesson. Reiterate the importance of understanding how to divide exponents in future mathematical applications.

Homework

• Complete the assigned worksheet covering dividing exponents, which will be collected and checked for understanding without any student presentations.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during guided and independent practice.
• Review completed homework for correctness and understanding of dividing exponents.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to ask questions whenever they need clarification.
• Remind students that the rules for dividing exponents apply only to terms with the same base.
