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	Details
1	Introduction to Ratios	5 mins	Briefly explain what a ratio is, using simple examples. Engage students with questions to gauge prior knowledge.
2	Exploring Ratios	10 mins	Distribute worksheets with ratio problems. Students will work individually to solve problems, promoting critical thinking.
3	Class Discussion	5 mins	Review worksheet answers as a class. Focus on any common mistakes and clarify misunderstandings without putting students on the spot.
4	Introduction to Proportions	5 mins	Explain what a proportion is and how it relates to ratios. Use visual aids for clarity. Provide examples.
5	Group Activity	5 mins	Divide students into small groups and give them a real-world problem involving proportions to solve collaboratively.
6	Wrap-up and Homework	5 mins	Summarize key points from the lesson. Assign homework related to ratios and proportions, ensuring it reinforces concepts taught in class.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet on ratios and proportions that includes word problems and numerical exercises. Ensure it is submitted at the next class without students presenting their work publicly.

Assessment

• Monitor participation during group work and class discussions.
• Review completed homework to assess understanding of ratios and proportions.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson.
• Use positive reinforcement to build confidence and encourage engagement.
