| 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} |

Linear Equations
Year 9 (ages 13-14)
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the UK Mathematics National Curriculum for Key Stage 3, focusing on algebra and linear relationships.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (Minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Linear Equations | 5 | Briefly explain what linear equations are and provide examples of forms (e.g., y = mx + b). Discuss the importance of solving them in real life. |
| 2 | Demonstration of Solving Linear Equations | 10 | Solve a linear equation on the board (e.g., 2x + 3 = 11). Explain each step clearly, including isolating the variable. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 | Provide a couple of equations for the class to solve together. Allow students to volunteer answers while guiding them through the thought process. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Hand out worksheets with linear equations for students to solve independently. Walk around the room to offer support where needed. |
| 5 | Review and Recap | 3 | Go over answers to the worksheet as a class, correcting any misunderstandings without requiring students to present. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 2 | Assign additional practice problems related to linear equations for homework, ensuring they are relevant and varied. Provide instructions on how to complete it. |
Students will complete a worksheet consisting of 10 linear equations to solve. They will submit this at the beginning of the next lesson for review. No presentations will be required.
