Maths lesson plan 



This lesson plan is aimed for a Year 11 Foundation class
It is a revision lesson on algebraic expressions, equations and simple factorizing.

It is common practice that for a revision lesson, the teachers usually prepares a mixed set
of examples and exam questions on one or more topics; students then work
independently; later they discuss answers with the rest of the class and the teacher.
Although this always tends to be a useful exercise, it sometimes happens that not all
students are engaged in their learning and progress.
Also, students are often not given the opportunity to be analytical and reflect on their
working and answers.

Hence, this revision lesson, not only gives the students the opportunity to revise key skills
in algebra, but also makes them become critical thinkers and instructional resources for
one another. In this lesson, the teacher takes on the role of a facilitator rather than the
usual role of an instructor.
