  Sample case: Grade: 5th grade. Topic: fractions.
  Learning outcome: The student shows and compares simple fractions.
  Warm-up (5 min): A question about sharing a pizza equally.
  Main activity (20 min): Modelling a half, a quarter and a whole with paper strips; comparing in pairs.
  Assessment (10 min): A 3-question mini quiz — compare 1/2 and 1/4, draw a fraction, read and write a fraction.
  Closing (5 min): 'What did I learn today?' in one sentence.
  Homework: Share a food equally at home and write it as a fraction.
  
  Timing: 5+20+10+5 = 40 minutes.

• 10-question test: Write a 10-question test on [topic] for [grade level]: 6 multiple choice, 2 fill-in-the-blank, 2 open-ended. Give the answer key separately.
  Sample case: Topic: Photosynthesis. Grade: 6th grade.
  Multiple choice (6): 1) In which part of the plant does photosynthesis occur? 2) Inputs 3) Outputs 4) Role of light 5) Chlorophyll 6) Does photosynthesis happen at night?
  Fill in the blank (2): 7) The plant converts light energy into ... energy. 8) In photosynthesis oxygen is released as a ...
  Open-ended (2): 9) What happens to a plant kept in the dark, and why? 10) Explain the importance of photosynthesis for living things.
  
  Answer key (short): 1) Leaf/chloroplast 2) Water, carbon dioxide, light 3) Glucose, oxygen 4) Supplies energy 5) The green pigment that captures light 6) No, not without light 7) chemical 8) by-product 9) Growth weakens, glucose cannot be made 10) A source of food and oxygen.
  
  (Shortened example: a full exam writes four options for each question.)

• Simplify a topic: Simplify this topic for students who struggle: [topic]. Give two everyday examples and end each step with a short question that checks understanding.
  Sample case: Topic: Calculating percentages.
  Simple explanation: A percentage means dividing something into 100 parts and saying how many parts you take. 50% is a half and 25% is a quarter.
  
  Everyday example 1: a 10% discount on something costing 200 = 10/100 of 200 = 20 off. Check: what is a 50% discount on 200?
  Everyday example 2: in a class of 20, 5 students were absent: 5/20 = 25%. Check: what percent is 10 absent out of 40 students?
  
  Steps: 1) Divide the part by the whole. 2) Multiply by 100. Check: what percentage is 3 out of 12?

• Parent meeting script: Write a kind, clear talking script for a parent meeting about [student situation]. Start with strengths, then the area to improve and the support expected from the parent.
  Sample case: Student situation: improving in maths but low participation in class.
  “Hello, welcome. First I would like to share something positive about your child: they have shown clear progress in maths in recent months and do their homework regularly. As an area for development I see class participation; they often do not raise their hand even when they know the answer. I would like us to support this together.
  
  What I ask of you: at home, have them explain one of the day's lessons and praise them when they answer. I will give small, safe participation opportunities in class. Shall we meet again in a month?”

• 5 classroom activities: Suggest 5 short classroom activities for [topic]. For each give the materials needed, the time and a classroom-management point to watch.
  Sample case: Topic: The water cycle.
  1. Water cycle model (15 min): clear bag, water, coloured pens. Management: students work in turns when hanging the bag at the window.
  2. Sequencing cards (10 min): stage cards (evaporation, condensation...). Materials: cards. Note: one set per group.
  3. Role play (10 min): students become water droplets. Materials: none. Note: decide the space and order in advance.
  4. Notebook drawing (10 min): draw and label the cycle. Materials: pen, notebook. Note: give quiet working time.
  5. Mini quiz (5 min): five true/false questions. Materials: paper. Note: check the answers together right away.

• Feedback on student writing: Write feedback on this student's text: [text]. Start with one strength, then give the two most important improvements with concrete examples; keep the tone encouraging.
  Sample case: Writing: “My favourite season is summer because there is no school and we go to the sea. I swam in the sea and ate ice cream.”
  Strength: You clearly wrote why summer is your favourite season, and your sentences are understandable.
  
  Suggestions:
  1. Add the senses: instead of “I swam in the sea”, you could write “When I came out of the cool water I felt the warmth of the sun.”
  2. Detail: add one sentence about who you went with.
  
  A great start! In your next piece try telling a single memory in three sentences.
