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.
