Leo the Rabbit
Leo the Rabbit is climbing up a flight of 10 steps. Leo can only hop up 1 or 2 steps each time he hops. He never hops down, only up. How many different ways can Leo hop up the flight of 10 steps? Provide evidence to justify your thinking.
Putting STEMscopes to Work for YOU
Did you know that STEMscopes has differentiated lesson elements? This document categorizes the different lesson options by MASTERS, MEETS, and APPROACHES to help you decide which elements to use for each lesson or purpose.
STEMscopes is also developing a Scaffolded Instruction Guide that sorts activities within each scope by previous grade-level remediation, grade level with supports, grade level, and extending grade level.
If you need assistance locating or using any of these resources, please reach out to your Master Teacher or Instructional Specialist.
