1. Introductions and (optional) icebreaker
2. Three-step process for finding the "mystery number"
3. Whole-group practice
4. Independent practice
5. Quick assessment
6. Q&A
7. Closing thoughts & goodbyes!

If you have any questions about this class or would like to request a different time, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help.  I would be thrilled to see your learner in my class!
