| 2 | Hand out and fill in Cards | 10 minutes | Teacher hands out math fact cards to each student and instructs that each student should fill in the blank with an answer. Students are encouraged to complete these independently |
| 3 | Peer Discussion | 5 minutes | After filling out the math fact cards, students should find a partner and discuss their answers. The teacher calls on various partnerships to share their answers with the class |
| 4 | Fun fact presentation | 5 minutes | Ask students to share fun fact they gathered during their research on a specific mathematical principle. This would allow everyone to learn new fun facts from each other |
| 5 | Homework | 5 minutes | The teacher hands out worksheets to help students practice what they learnt in class today. The instructions should be clearly defined and also mention how the homework will be checked without asking any student to present it in front of the class |
