Launch
The lesson launch sparks student curiosity and lays the foundation for the learning to come. Sense-making routines and Math Is... Mindset activities provide low-floor, high-ceiling opportunities to initiate thinking and foster ideas from all learners.
Explore & Develop
Explore & Develop unpacks the lesson content with a choice between two lesson design options. During Activity-Based Exploration, students work together to explore concepts and engage in productive struggle to problem-solve. With Guided Exploration, teachers facilitate exploration through thoughtful discourse and collaboration. Both options promote classroom equity and teacher agency while keeping students at the center of the learning experience.
Practice & Reflect
During in-class practice, students complete On My Own activities to apply what they’ve learned, build procedural fluency, and address all elements of rigor. For students in need of a recap, Math Replay Videos quickly re-explain lesson concepts to reference during independent work. Additional practice pages are also available in every lesson with embedded learning aids.
Assess
The Exit Ticket includes a daily formative assessment to check for understanding, supplying teachers with data and recommendations for differentiation.
Differentiation
Daily differentiation helps support every student on their math learning journey, providing them with a variety of engaging, multimodal activities that reinforce understanding, build proficiency, and/or extend their thinking.
