Step 1: Direct instruction / teacher facilitated stage - this is where schema building begins. Present new

Step 2: Modelling / Scaffolding, with review and questioning – what data are needed?
Step 3: Individual exploration
Step 4: Review - discussion
Step 5: Problem-solving
Step 6: Presentation/Assessment (Peer assessment possible too) and sharing of outcomes. This will also be
