This product is intended to be used in a classroom modeled after Peter Liljedahl’s book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics.

Launch Script: This is the mini lesson. It should be quick, 10 minutes.

Consolidation: Wrap up the lesson after tasks. This is like a second mini lesson. Have students gather around and possibly walk the room to show varying strategies used by classmates.

Notes: This page is intended to be printed for students to write on and glue into journals or hole punched for a notebook.

Check Your Understanding: Students complete so the teacher can check to see what the student does or does not understand. It is meant to go in a certain order so that you, the teacher, know where a student begins to struggle – A, B, C, D, etc. – down each column of Mild, Medium, Spicy.
