How to use it

For one lesson, choose the first mini-lesson, one supported mission and its response model. For a sequence, work through the suggested sessions and return to the independent mission to check transfer.

Preparation: Print the selected student and reference pages. Provide pencils, scrap paper and calculators where useful. Cut cards only for physical stations; you may display them instead. For digital work, assign an individual copy of the supplied student deck. All source documents are included; no other paid resource is needed.
