When the essential question has been introduce and discussed, the teacher will move on into instruction of the lesson. Now that we know what we are about to learn about and how it is important, Mr. Nick and I are going to show you how to solve a problem with measurements of length. The teacher will then pull up a self-made powerpoint with pre-written questions on it to introduce the student to the lesson. The teacher is also using the small hand held SmartBoard.
