Lesson consists of:
• starter activity = Silent do now activity of 4 retrieval questions, worked through separately with second practice question available for each if required. Full worked through solutions which can be omitted if you prefer to model solutions live.
• lesson title and date,
• lesson objectives,
• Notes and worked examples following an “I do” then “we do” approach. Language is clear and unambiguous. Unnecessary visuals and words are avoided to support with cognitive load. Text is integrated into diagrams to avoid split attention. Full working is given but can be deleted if you prefer to model examples live. Solutions are broken down into small steps; some steps may be removed when class are able to follow working with greater ease.
• Independent practice questions with answers to reveal when ready. Separate worksheets of questions are provided for printed copies if preferred.
Each section of the lesson has the “I do”, “We do”, “Independent practice” cycle for learning.
• Second set of notes and worked examples followed by independent practice questions.
• Summary notes page

Worksheets cover all independent practice as separate documents. Version 2 reduces the printing for each set.

Student notes are included as a separate document with large text size to support visually impaired students and can be printed for sticking into student books to reduce the need for copying from the board. Summary notes are given at the end of the lesson for a review of learning.
