Build a CBE lesson plan from a strand, not a blank page.
Choose the subject and CFItem, then generate a lesson structure with activities, materials, differentiation notes, and evaluation prompts.
Click a CFItem. Get a 5E plan.
Every CFItem in the KICD framework maps to a draft lesson plan with the 5E phases, learning outcomes, materials and differentiation pre-filled. Edit any block — every plan stays yours.
Linear equations in one unknown — solving by balancing
MaterialsWhiteboard, balance scale model, exit-ticket strips
- 01Engage5 min
Show the balance scale. 3 oranges on one side, write 'x' + 8 oranges on the other. Ask: what is x?
- 02Explore8 min
Pairs work with bean-balance sets. Find x for 4 prompts of increasing complexity. No procedure yet.
- 03Explain10 min
Formalise: whatever you do to one side, do to the other. Notation: 3 + x = 8 ↔ x = 5.
- 04Elaborate12 min
Apply to a matatu-fare prompt. Then a two-step: 2x + 3 = 11. Differentiated set in the library.
