What's in each lesson plan
- The learning objective, success criteria and the Common Core or England national curriculum codes for the skill.
- A warm-up with three retrieval questions from the skills students need first.
- A hook to start the lesson, written for that area of math, English or science.
- I do: a fully worked example, step by step, to model out loud.
- We do: two guided questions with hints to use as prompts.
- You do: a printable student sheet with fresh questions and an answer key.
- An exit ticket, common misconceptions, materials, and ideas for support and stretch.
Built from a real skill map
Every plan comes from Eurekami's map of 2,008 skills from kindergarten to grade 12, written to Common Core, NGSS and the national curriculum in England. Each skill knows which skills come before it and which come next, so the warm-up revisits what students need first and the stretch ideas point to the next step. The questions are generated fresh each time, so two classes never get the same sheet.
Choose 30, 45 or 60 minutes
Timings are suggested for each part of the lesson and change with the length you pick. Print the plan for yourself and the student sheet for the class, or put the examples on the board straight from the page.
Want plans that fit your class?
With a Eurekami account, the AI teaching assistant drafts a lesson plan, a week of plans, report comments or a parent newsletter in minutes, using your class's own results to decide what to reteach. You can edit, save and print everything.

Questions teachers ask
- Is the lesson plan builder free?
- Yes. Every plan, worked example and student sheet is free to view and print, with no sign-up.
- Which subjects and grades does it cover?
- Math, English and science, from kindergarten to grade 12 (Reception to Year 13 in England). Pick any of the 2,008 skills.
- Are the plans linked to standards?
- Yes. Each plan shows the skill's Common Core (or NGSS-aligned) code where there is one, and the matching year group and topic in the national curriculum in England.
- Do I get an answer key?
- Yes. The student sheet prints with an answer key, and you can choose to include the worked steps for every answer.
- Can I edit the plan?
- The free plan is ready to print as it is. To edit, save and tailor plans to your class, use the AI teaching assistant in a free Eurekami teacher account.
