7. Teacher then solves all "I Do" problems, using think-alouds, showing all work, and following the infographic.
8. After all teacher examples, have students take a stretch/brain break
9. Together, solve the remaining "We-do" problems, providing support when necessary.Allow students to practice verbalizing what is being down and the reasoning behind each step. If students are particularly struggling, use sentence stems from Objectives Slide.
