The 5E Model + “Tracked” Activities
• Engage• Explore• Explain• Elaborate
– Struggling– Regular– Advanced– NOT: More
practice
• Struggling– More hands-on experiences– Connecting concrete to abstract
• Regular– Good follow-up activity to
deepen the conceptual understanding
• Advanced– High School– More complex
