Large-Class & Low-Resource Planner
No tools you don't own

Plan for the classroom you actually have

Describe your room — how many learners, how many books, what you can and cannot use — and get a lesson you can genuinely deliver: real group sizes, assessment you can manage, and no tools you don't own.

Included on every plan, including the free one. One lesson uses one of your monthly generations. Compare plans

Built for the class you teach

Fifty, seventy, a hundred learners. A handful of books between them. No power some days. That is an ordinary classroom for millions of skilled teachers, and most lesson tools quietly pretend it isn't. This one plans for it directly.

Grouping that fits the numbers

Real group sizes for your exact class, how to form them in under a minute without moving furniture, and roles so the same few learners don't do all the work.

Assessment you can manage

Sampling, peer checks, response cards, oral checks or one group product — a way to know who has learned it without marking seventy separate papers.

Only what you have

No printer means no photocopies. No power means no screens. Where the lesson needs something you lack, it gives you a safe local substitute and uses it.

Four resource modes

No-cost and very-low-cost are genuinely different lessons, not the same plan relabelled.

No-cost lesson

Nothing has to be bought. Only what is already in the room, the teacher's voice, and free local materials.

Very-low-cost lesson

A small, one-off spend is possible — chalk, a few markers, chart paper, string — but nothing per-learner or recurring.

Standard-resource lesson

Ordinary school materials are available: books to share, paper, a board, and maybe some shared technology.

Emergency or temporary space

A temporary or interrupted space — outdoors, a shelter, a shared hall — with almost nothing fixed and lessons that may be cut short.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe your room

    How many learners, how many books, what you can and cannot use. A short, step-by-step form that saves as you go.

  2. 2

    Choose a resource mode

    No-cost, very-low-cost, standard, or an emergency or temporary space. The mode changes the lesson, not just the label.

  3. 3

    Get a deliverable lesson

    Real group sizes for your class, assessment you can actually manage, local substitutes for anything you lack, and a no-technology way to run it.

  4. 4

    Teach from one page

    Generate a one-page delivery guide for your phone or a single printed sheet, and convert to a standard lesson plan whenever you want.

A class of 70: The water cycle

No-cost mode, Science, Grade 6, 40 minutes. This is the shape of what you get.

Grouping for 70

Groups of 7 · 10 groups of 7

Count learners along each bench 1–7, then all the 1s know their job, the 2s theirs, and so on. Groups stay where they sit — nobody moves furniture.

Assessment without 70 papers

Each group draws the four stages of the cycle on one shared sheet and labels them; you sample four groups' sheets, not 70 papers.

You read one sheet per group — 10 sheets, not 70 — and a show of hands (evaporation = fists up, condensation = open hands) tells you instantly who has it.

Local material substitutions

  • A diagram of the water cycle for each learnerOne large water-cycle drawn on the chalkboard, plus each group building the cycle on their desk with a cup of water, a stone (mountain), and chalk arrows.

    Safety: Use only a small amount of water so floors stay dry and safe to walk on.

  • Printed worksheetsEach group writes its answers on one shared sheet of scrap paper, or on the ground outside with a stick, and the reporter reads them out.

One page to teach from

A condensed delivery guide — objective, materials, groups, timed steps, key questions, the understanding check, a safety note and the exit activity — sized for a phone or a single printed sheet.

Objective

Construct the water cycle and explain each stage.

Groups

Groups of 7 · 10 groups of 7

Check

One labelled sheet per group; sample four.

Exit

Each learner tells a partner one stage of the cycle.

What it will never do

  • A projector, laptop or lab kit you don't have
  • A photocopy per learner when there's no printer
  • One book or one device per child
  • Assessment that means marking 70 papers
  • Activities one teacher can't safely supervise
  • Unsafe household-chemical mixes

English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi and Mandarin.
