| 1 | Today — WARM-UP | Point at the five parts. Name where we are. |
| 2 | Is 9 − 3 = 6 an expression or an equation? | Boards up on three. This is yesterday's work — Expressions and Equations. Do not help each other; I need to see what each of you kept. |
| 3 | An equation, and it is true. 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 | An exponent counts how many times the base is used as a FACTOR — it is repeated multiplication, not multiplication by the exponent. | Read this out. Do not explain it yet — the example explains it. |
| 6 | 2+2+2 = 3 × 2 build 1 of 5 | Repeated addition has a short form we know. |
| 7 | 2+2+2 = 3 × 2 2 × 2 × 2 build 2 of 5 | Repeated MULTIPLICATION needs a different short form. |
| 8 | 2+2+2 = 3 × 2 2 × 2 × 2 2³ build 3 of 5 | We write it with an exponent. |
| 9 | 2+2+2 = 3 × 2 2 × 2 × 2 2³ 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 build 4 of 5 | The 2 is the base — what is repeated. The 3 is how many factors. |
| 10 | 2+2+2 = 3 × 2 2 × 2 × 2 2³ 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 2³ = 8 (not 2 × 3) build 5 of 5 | Work it out. Note it is 8, not 6. |
| 11 | Evaluate 3⁴. | Now the same thing on a new one. Watch — nothing on your boards. |
| 12 | Four factors of 3. 3 × 3 × 3 × 3. 9 × 9 = 81 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 | Evaluate 5³. | Write out the factors before you multiply. Boards up. |
| 15 | 5 × 5 × 5 125 answer — own slide | Boards up. Everyone at once — check yours against this. |
| 16 | Evaluate 10⁴ and 4². | Two here. One of them is a common trap. |
| 17 | 10⁴ = 10,000 4² = 16, not 8. 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 6A — page 3 | Open your books to this page. Wait — do not start yet. |
| 20 | Do — page 3 | 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 | “How many FACTORS, not how many to multiply by?” | This is the question to ask yourself every time, not just today. |
| 23 | Evaluate 2⁵. | 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. |
| 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. |
