Page Numbering question

Question

I am starting the setup of a schoolbook, in which I need to make page numbering a bit different than I am use to:

I need ordinary pagenumbering for the first pages, but then I get to "Lesson 1"and here we want for example page 18, 18.1, 18.2, 18.3 etc. and then follow up with "Lesson 2" page 19, 19.1, 19.2 etc...

Is there a smart way to do this, or should I create different master pages, and make it manually eventually

Thank you for your time

You should set each lesson to start a new section.

Give each section the appropriate "section prefix".

And select the option "use prefix when numbering pages".
