Grades: K–3; K after training
Independence: Moderate
Preparation and setup: Mount small sets on trays so gears do not scatter; teach how to hold the ring.
Independent work: Feels special compared with normal classroom drawing and supports pattern exploration.
Storage and reset: Keep each set in its own tray; check gear count after use.
Lesson flow: Teach the setup and visual routine first, then open as a rotating station when students can begin, work, and clean up independently.
Safety and cleanup: Follow the teacher notes and supervise any activity marked Teacher-supported.
