Guided orientation: Students explore the objects of instruction in carefully structured tasks such as folding, measuring, or constructing. The teacher ensures that students explore specific concepts.
Explicitation: Students describe what they have learned about the topic in their own words. The teacher introduces relevant mathematical terms.
Free Orientation: Students apply the relationships they are learning to solve problems and investigate more open-ended tasks.
Integration: Students summarize and integrate what they have learned, developing a new network of objects and relations.
