Controlled practice: By answering questions the students will reach the right solution of two basic practices (constructive learning method)

Summarize: Each feature about the list of data is summarized by a different student in front of the rest of the class (active participation)

Diverse learners: For the Warm-Up practices the little grups are made with mixed-abiliy students.

Extension suggestion: After the controlled practices, fast learners will solve advanced activities.
