| 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} |

Mathematics
20 students
30 minutes
This lesson aligns with standards focusing on cultural contributions to mathematics, problem-solving skills, and teamwork in math learning.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (Minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Briefly discuss Hispanic Heritage and its importance. Introduce the concept of Hispanic mathematicians and highlight a few key figures. |
| 2 | Group Formation | 5 | Divide students into small groups of 4-5 to encourage collaboration. Provide each group with chart paper and markers. |
| 3 | Research Activity | 10 | Each group selects a Hispanic mathematician from the handouts to research. They will prepare a brief summary of their mathematician's contributions and a simple math problem related to their work. |
| 4 | Group Presentations | 5 | Each group shares their findings with the class in a round-robin format without going into extensive detail. Each group presents their mathematician's name and their math problem. |
| 5 | Problem Solving | 3 | Explain how to solve the problems from each group. Provide time for students to work together on the problems related to their mathematician. |
| 6 | Wrap-Up | 2 | Summarize the contributions of Hispanic mathematicians and the math problems created by the students. Highlight the importance of diversity in mathematics. |
Students will create a short paragraph summarizing what they learned about their selected mathematician. This paragraph will be collected the next day but will not be presented in front of the class.
Students will be assessed based on their participation in the group activity, the completeness of their research, and their homework submission. Keep track of contributions and understanding demonstrated during group discussions.
