| 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} |

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics, specifically focusing on understanding and applying percent concepts and calculations.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Introduce the concept of percents. Briefly explain how percents relate to fractions and decimals. Provide a few examples. |
| 2 | Direct Instruction | 10 | Present a mini-lecture demonstrating how to calculate percentages (e.g., finding 20% of a number, converting fractions to percentages). Use visual aids and show different methods (e.g., cross-multiplication). |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 | Work through a few practice problems as a class. Involve students by asking for their contributions to solutions, ensuring all students participate. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 7 | Distribute worksheets with individual practice problems. Allow students to work independently while circulating to provide assistance as needed. |
| 5 | Homework Explanation | 2 | Explain the homework assignment, which includes additional practice on percentages. Ensure students understand expectations for completion. |
| 6 | Closure | 1 | Adjourn the class with a recap of what was learned. Distribute exit tickets for an informal assessment of understanding (one question regarding the lesson topic). |
Assign students to complete a worksheet that includes real-world problems involving percentages. Collect homework for review and provide feedback the following class without requiring presentations from individual students.
Evaluate students’ understanding through the exit tickets collected at the end of class, as well as the completed homework for comprehension and accuracy.
