DeRidder, Charleen; Dessart, Donald J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
The following five steps are designed to help teach a directed mathematics lesson: (1) introducing, (2) presenting, (3) analyzing, (4) practicing, and (5) applying. It is noted that teaching a directed lesson means to help students master specific mathematical skills, as well as to formulate concepts and understand principles. (MP)
