Typically used for math instruction, the Launch+Explore+Summarize framework is structured around three phases: Launch - connecting prior knowledge and presenting students with a challenge, Explore - giving students time to work and the teacher time to focus on individual students and plan for the summary, and Summarize - the teacher orchestrating a discussion and reflecting on student learning.

Developed in the late 1980s for science instruction, the 5Es model focuses on five phases of a lesson: Engage - accessing prior knowledge and engaging interest, Exploration - students participating in an activity that facilitates conceptual change, Explain - students generating an explaining the phenomenon with teacher support (often a mini-lesson), Elaborate - challenging and deepening understanding through new experiences, and Evaluate - assessing students’ understanding of the phenomenon.
