Key principles
The I do phase involves the explanation - indicates where a teacher would be explaining a concept.
Moving from I do to We do involves modelling - indicates that the teacher is demonstrating a skill or modelling a process.
Check for Understanding - Questions posed to check whether students have understood and to inform next steps.
You do - Practice - indicates places where students will attempt questions independently.
At the expected level for the lesson; all students should be able to do these questions.
A small increase in difficulty from the expected level, eg larger numbers or a more complex calculation.
Extension - increased difficulty; suitable for a small number of students.

Independent work
Students respond to a prompt in their exercise book or booklet.
Pair share
Students discuss with the person next to them.
Choral response
Students respond orally all together.
Thumbs up, thumbs down
Students indicate whether they agree or disagree with a statement, or whether something is an example or non-example.
Concrete materials
