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 (mins)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly explain the purpose of the lesson and how getting to know each other can support collaborative learning in mathematics.
2	Name Tag Activity	10	Each student creates a name tag with their name and one interesting fact about themselves. Students will share their interesting facts with a partner.
3	Icebreaker Questions	5	Distribute handouts with icebreaker questions. In pairs, students ask each other the questions and then introduce their partner to the class.
4	Group Activity	7	Organize students into groups of four. Each group discusses how they can help each other with mathematics or share their favourite math topics.
5	Reflection	3	Conduct a brief reflection on the activities. Ask students how they felt sharing and what they learned about their peers.

Homework

Ask students to write a short paragraph about what they enjoy most in mathematics and one area they would like to improve.
Ensure that homework is checked through a brief written response collected at the end of the next lesson without requiring individual presentations.

Assessment

Observe students’ participation during discussions and activities.
Collect and review homework for understanding of personal learning interests.

Notes

Ensure a supportive and inclusive environment throughout the lesson.
Adapt activities as necessary to accommodate diverse student needs.

Conclusion

This lesson is designed to create a welcoming environment, enhancing students' familiarity with one another while subtly incorporating mathematical discussions.
