| 1 | Today — WARM-UP | Point at the five parts. Name where we are. |
| 2 | How many are in the empty box? | Boards up on three. This is yesterday's work — The Number 0. Do not help each other; I need to see what each of you kept. |
| 3 | 0 answer — own slide | Show me. Everyone at once. Check your own board against this. |
| 4 | Today — I DO | We are at I DO. Boards down and flat. |
| 5 | Numbers have an order, and each one is exactly 1 more than the one before it. | Read this out. Do not explain it yet — the example explains it. |
| 6 | 5 2 8 1 build 1 of 5 | I write the numbers I know, out of order. |
| 7 | 5 2 8 1 5 2 8 1 → 1 build 2 of 5 | Which is the least? I count up from 0 to find it: 0, 1 — there it is. |
| 8 | 5 2 8 1 5 2 8 1 → 1 → 1 2 build 3 of 5 | Next least is 2. |
| 9 | 5 2 8 1 5 2 8 1 → 1 → 1 2 → 1 2 5 build 4 of 5 | Then 5. |
| 10 | 5 2 8 1 5 2 8 1 → 1 → 1 2 → 1 2 5 → 1 2 5 8 build 5 of 5 | Then 8. Least to greatest. |
| 11 | Put in order, least to greatest: 4, 1, 3 | Now the same thing on a new one. Watch — nothing on your boards. |
| 12 | Count up: 1 comes first. Then 3. Then 4. 1, 3, 4 answer — own slide | I say every step aloud as I write it. The board keeps all of it. |
| 13 | Today — WE DO | We are at WE DO. Boards up. |
| 14 | Put in order, least to greatest: 7, 2, 5 | Find the least first. Boards up when you have all three. |
| 15 | 2, 5, 7 answer — own slide | Boards up. Everyone at once — check yours against this. |
| 16 | Put in order, least to greatest: 6, 0, 9 | Careful — one of these is the zero we met yesterday. |
| 17 | 0, 6, 9 answer — own slide | Boards up. Everyone at once — check yours against this. |
| 18 | Today — YOU DO | We are at YOU DO. Boards down, books open. |
| 19 | Dimensions 1A — page 10 | Open your books to this page. Wait — do not start yet. |
| 20 | Do — page 10 | These are the book's own problems, same type as the three we have just done. Work them in the book. |
| 21 | Today — CLOSURE | Last part. Answers up. |
| 22 | “Did I start from the least, or from the one I noticed first?” | This is the question to ask yourself every time, not just today. |
| 23 | Which is less, 3 or 5? Show the lesser number on your board. | One last board. Then we are finished. |
| Segment | MWB | Time | Boards | What to hold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WARM-UP | retrieval | 3-5 min | BOARDS UP | Question up, boards up on the count. Everyone shows at once — a child who waits to see a neighbour's board has not retrieved anything. Grade 1 may drop this if the previous lesson was a review — from Grade 4 it is not optional. |
| I DO | none — they watch | 3-4 min | boards down | Boards DOWN and flat. This segment is watching, and a child writing is not watching. Say so once at the start of the year and then hold it. |
| WE DO | primary use | 5-6 min | BOARDS UP | One step, then boards up. Do not let them run ahead to the answer — the point is that everybody is on the same step at the same time. |
| YOU DO | on the sheet | 4-5 min | boards down | Boards down. This is the book's problems, worked where the work will be kept. |
| CLOSURE | answers displayed | 2-3 min | boards down | Answers on the board, children check their own. Mark nothing here. |
