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 plan

Lesson Plan: Number Sense

Topic

Number Sense

Objectives

To enhance students' understanding of rational and irrational numbers.
To develop students' ability to perform operations with rational numbers.
To promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the context of number sense.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Printed worksheets with practice problems
Number line posters
Projector for presentations (if applicable)
Access to online math games or platforms (optional)

Grade/Age Group

Year/Grade 7

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

Duration

30 minutes

Standards

The lesson aligns with the Canadian Mathematics Curriculum for Grade 7, focusing on number sense, rational numbers, and mathematical reasoning.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Introduce the topic of number sense. Engage students with a question about rational vs. irrational numbers.
2	Direct Instruction	10 min	Explain the concepts of rational and irrational numbers using examples. Use visual aids like number lines.
3	Guided Practice	5 min	Distribute worksheets with practice problems. Work through the first problem as a class.
4	Independent Practice	5 min	Students complete the remaining problems on the worksheet individually.
5	Wrap-Up and Review	3 min	Summarize key points from the lesson. Address any questions from students regarding the material.
6	Homework Assignment	2 min	Provide homework problems related to rational numbers. Explain that homework will be collected for review.

Homework

Students will complete a set of problems focusing on identifying rational and irrational numbers, performing operations with rational numbers, and applying their understanding in word problems. Homework will be collected without presentations to allow for a less stressful environment.

Assessment

Observation of student participation during guided practice.
Review of independent practice worksheets to measure understanding.
Assessment of homework for comprehension and application of number sense concepts.

Reflection

At the end of the lesson, consider what worked well and what could be improved. This reflection will help in planning future lessons and addressing any gaps in student understanding.

This lesson plan provides a structured approach to teaching number sense to Grade 7 students while aligning with Canadian educational standards.
