During this stage, the teacher will:

1. Introduce the topic of integration as the reverse process of differentiation, explaining that mastering this technique is essential for understanding more complex mathematical concepts.
2. Highlight the importance of integral calculus, including definite and indefinite integrals, in solving real-world problems. The teacher will give a brief overview of these types of integrals and how they are applicable in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, etc.
3. Outline the techniques of integration that will be covered in the lesson, such as substitution, integration by parts, and trigonometric integration. The teacher will emphasize that these methods will help students solve a wide range of calculus problems.

Secondary objectives will include:

• Sparking students' interest in the topic by connecting it with real-life applications.
• Assessing students' prior knowledge of differentiation to ensure that they have the necessary foundation for understanding integration.
• Setting the stage for active participation and discussion by encouraging students to ask questions and share their thoughts.

The teacher will also explain the lesson's structure and what students can expect to learn by the end. This will help to provide a clear roadmap for the lesson and give students a sense of what they are working towards.

Finally, the teacher will remind students that while the concepts may seem complex at first, with practice and persistence, they can master integration. The teacher will assure them that they will guide them step by step through the process, reinforcing the idea that learning is a journey, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

During this stage, the teacher will:

1. Start by reminding the students about the concept of differentiation. The teacher will briefly review its basic principles, highlighting its application in finding the rate of change of a quantity. A few examples will be provided, such as the velocity of a car changing over time, or the growth rate of a plant.

2. Present two problem situations that will serve as the foundation for developing the theory of integration.

   • The first problem could be about finding the total distance traveled by a car given its velocity at different time intervals. The teacher will point out that although they have the rate of change (velocity), they need a way to find the total change (distance).
   • The second problem could involve finding the area under a curve. The teacher can use a simple graph and ask students how they would calculate the area enclosed by the curve and the x-axis. The teacher will emphasize that regular geometric formulas won't work because the shape isn't a simple rectangle or triangle.

3. Contextualize the importance of integration by relating it to real-world applications. The teacher could explain how integral calculus is used in physics to calculate work done or in economics to find total output given a production function. Moreover, the teacher will explain how integral calculus is fundamental in modern technology, such as image and signal processing, machine learning or even in the development of video games.

4. To grab the students' attention, the teacher will share two interesting facts or stories related to integration:

   • The teacher can share a story about how Newton invented calculus (including integration) during the plague years when he was in isolation. This can inspire students about how great ideas can come at the most unexpected times.
   • The teacher can also share a curiosity about how integral calculus is used in medical imaging like CT scans and MRIs. This can show students the direct impact of calculus on human health and lives.

By the end of this stage, the students should not only understand the basics of integration but also appreciate its importance and application in various fields.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

During this stage, the teacher will:

1. Introduce the Concept of Integration:

   • Begin by reiterating that integration is the reverse process of differentiation.
   • Explain how integration helps in summing up an infinite number of infinitesimally small quantities, a concept which parallels to finding areas under curves or distances traveled given velocities.

2. Indefinite Integrals and the Concept of an Antiderivative (7 - 10 minutes):

   • Define an Indefinite Integral. Start with a basic function, like f(x) = x or f(x) = x² and show the antiderivative function (the integral) using simple power rule.
   • Draw the connection between the derivative of the antiderivative function and the original function. Emphasize that the constant of integration (C) arises because of the constant term disappearing during the differentiation process.
   • Allow the students to try a few exercises with simple polynomials to find the indefinite integrals.
   • Address questions students may have about the process of integration, and the concept of an antiderivative.

3. Definite Integrals and Areas Under Curves (8 - 10 minutes):

   • Transition into definite integrals by explaining how they differ from indefinite integrals. Point out that while indefinite integrals involve a family of functions (due to the arbitrary constant, C), a definite integral gives us a numerical value.
   • Explain how a definite integral relates to the area under the curve of a function, especially when the function is above the x-axis.
   • Describe the process of finding definite integrals by subtracting the values of the antiderivative function at the upper and lower limits of integration.
   • Demonstrate this with an example, like finding the area under the curve of f(x) = x² from x = 0 to x = 2.
   • Encourage students to do another similar exercise, while circulating around the classroom to offer help and correct misunderstandings.

4. Techniques of Integration (5 - 7 minutes):

   • Introduce the concept of techniques of integration. Explain that different types of functions may require different techniques for finding their integrals.
   • Focus on the technique of substitution, which is the counterpart of the chain rule in differentiation. Demonstrate the process through an example.
   • Mention integration by parts and trigonometric integration briefly, informing students that these will be topics for future lessons.

By the end of this stage, students should have a clear understanding of both indefinite and definite integrals, as well as how to use substitution as a technique for finding integrals. They should be aware that the principles of integration touch on real-world applications such as calculating areas or distances, but the complete understanding of those applications often requires more advanced techniques other than substitution. The drive and motivation to learn those techniques are the next step in their learning journey.

Feedback (10 - 15 minutes)

During this stage, the teacher will:

1. Review and Assess the Lesson (5 - 7 minutes):

   • Recap the main points of the lesson. The teacher will ask students to share what they understood about the concept of integration, indefinite and definite integrals, and the technique of substitution in integration.
   • Ask volunteers to explain how integration is the reverse process of differentiation, and how it can be used to find areas under curves or total change given rates of change. This will help to assess if the students have grasped the primary connections between theory and practical applications.
   • The teacher can use visual aids or interactive online tools to illustrate how the area under a curve gets translated into the concept of integration. This can solidify the connection between theoretical concepts and their visual/geometrical interpretations.
   • Ask a few students to solve simple integrals on the board. This will allow the teacher to evaluate the students’ understanding and identify any common mistakes that might need to be addressed in future lessons.

2. Reflective Questions (3 - 5 minutes):

   • Ask students to reflect on the most important concept they learned in the lesson today. This will encourage students to think critically and prioritize information.
   • Encourage students to ask any questions they might still have about the lesson's content. The teacher should address these questions, and if any can't be answered immediately, they should be noted down to be addressed in the next class or through additional resources.
   • The teacher can also ask students to reflect on how the concept of integration might be used in their future studies or careers. This can help students understand the long-term relevance of what they're learning.

3. Homework Assignment (2 - 3 minutes):

   • Assign homework that includes integration problems of varying difficulty. The assignment should include problems on indefinite integrals, definite integrals, and integrals using substitution. This will reinforce what they learned during the lesson and provide them with practice problems to develop their skills.
   • Inform students that they should bring any questions they have about the homework to the next class. This will ensure they have the opportunity to clarify any confusion or difficulties they encounter while working independently.

By the end of this stage, the teacher should have a clear understanding of the students’ grasp of the lesson’s content. The students should be able to articulate the main concepts of the lesson, reflect on their learning, and know what is expected of them for the next class. The teacher should also have identified any areas of confusion that need to be addressed in future lessons.
