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

Topic

Solving Linear Equations: Variable on Both Sides

Objectives

• Understand the concept of linear equations with variables on both sides.
• Develop skills to isolate variables and solve equations.
• Apply problem-solving strategies to real-world examples involving linear equations.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector (optional)
• Student notebooks
• Printed handouts with practice problems
• Homework assignment sheet

Grade/Age Group

Middle School (Grades 6-8)

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 Students

Lesson Length

30 Minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS.Math.Content.7.EE.B.4).

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Linear Equations	5 Minutes	Briefly introduce linear equations with examples. Discuss why we isolate variables on one side.
2	Demonstration	10 Minutes	Work through an example of solving a linear equation with variables on both sides on the whiteboard.
3	Guided Practice	7 Minutes	Solve 2-3 more equations together with the class, asking guiding questions to facilitate understanding.
4	Independent Practice	5 Minutes	Students work on printed handouts with similar problems individually. Circulate and provide support.
5	Recap and Homework Assignment	3 Minutes	Review key concepts and assign homework that reinforces the lesson. Discuss how homework will be checked.

Assessment

• Monitor student progress during guided and independent practice.
• Collect homework at the end of the lesson to check understanding without requiring students to present.

Homework

Provide students with a worksheet that includes a variety of linear equations to solve, emphasizing the lesson's focus on variables on both sides. Ensure that the homework is due by the next class with feedback provided.

Additional Notes

• Ensure to differentiate instruction for varying student needs by providing additional support or challenges as necessary.
• Engage students with real-world examples related to the application of linear equations in daily life.
