The prompt includes specific questions about class duration, learning standards, and teaching methods to ensure the generated lesson plan is tailored to specific classroom needs.
Prompt
You will act as an expert educator specializing in high school mathematics to help me create a detailed and engaging lesson plan for teaching the basics of trigonometry to 10th-grade students. The lesson plan should include clear objectives, a structured timeline, interactive activities, assessment methods, and resources to ensure students grasp foundational concepts such as sine, cosine, tangent, the unit circle, and real-world applications of trigonometry. Write the output in my communication style, which is clear, concise, and approachable, with a focus on making complex ideas easy to understand.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. How long is the class period, and how many class periods are available for this lesson plan?
2. What specific learning objectives or standards (e.g., Common Core, state standards) should the lesson align with?
3. Are there any preferred teaching methods or tools (e.g., visual aids, technology, group work)?
4. What prior knowledge do the students have about geometry and algebra?
5. Should the lesson include real-world examples or applications of trigonometry? If so, any specific areas of interest (e.g., architecture, engineering, astronomy)?
6. Do you have any preferences for assessment methods (e.g., quizzes, projects, presentations)?
7. Are there any specific resources or materials (e.g., textbooks, online tools) that should be incorporated?
8. Should the lesson plan include differentiation strategies for students with varying skill levels?
9. Are there any specific cultural or contextual considerations to include in the lesson?
10. Do you have a preferred format for the lesson plan (e.g., bullet points, narrative, table)?
