A-Level Student currently predicted 3A*’s in Maths, Chemistry and History. My lessons are aimed at GCSE Maths students

My lessons will follow a 6-part structure: 1. A Bell Task (a starter of 6 questions which will assess how well students have recalled previous skills picked up in previous lessons) 2. Information (this is where I, as the teacher, will present the new content both on an ideological basis and on a practical basis, which will be the foundation of answering any question to a GCSE question.) 3. Teacher Model (this is where I will present a model solution which will be valuable to the students when trying to answer any question later on in the lesson as it will give them a basis to work from) 4. Trial Questions (this is where the students will practise what they have learned in the previous two stages of the lesson plan. Additionally, the ability to practise questions in Maths is more important than any theory of teacher modelling so in this step, the students are being prepared for their Maths exams, whether that be mocks or the real thing.) 5. Practise Questions (this is where the students will do some further practise without any help from me, as the teacher for about 8 minutes, in order to test the students’ independent ability. Some students over-rely on their teacher’s support and therefore are plagued when it comes to answering questions in an exam - so this process is essential to the process) 6. Plenary (this will be the end of the lesson where the students will complete a retrieval activity of the core skills they are meant to have picked up in the lesson - this is essential as some students, from my experience will say they can do a certain task after the teacher has explained it, but when it comes to answering a day, a week or a month later they will struggle to recall the theory and skills relevant to be successful in that question. This plenary will help to counter-act that process, that in my experience all students encounter.)
