A visible beginning, middle, and stopping point.

One model, one try

1. Preview one worked example.
2. Complete three supported items.
3. Explain one strategy aloud or on paper.

Hands-on: counters, a number line, fraction strips, or a place-value chart.

Model, sort, solve

1. Model one problem with think-aloud language.
2. Sort examples by structure or operation.
3. Solve one digital and one paper example.

Outcome: mark the strategy used—not a public score.

Plan, practice, reflect

1. Write a three-step plan.
2. Complete one Learn and one Practice set.
3. Record what helped and what comes next.

Organization: use Student Start for the private checklist.

Four-station rotation

1. Teacher model.
2. Hands-on station.
3. Digital Lab.
4. Exit ticket and cleanup.

Color outcome: “I can,” “still practicing,” and “ask for help.”

Match the tool to the idea

• Place value: digit cards and place-value mat
• Operations: counters and open number line
