Students check understanding
on types of arithmetic operators
and their functions using
guided exercise individually
Station 2: Face-to-face
Time: 20 mins
Technology: Handouts
Students work in groups to
solve arithmetic operations
questions
Station 3: Online
Time: 5 mins
Technology: Quizizz
Students check
answers to handouts
