Teaching and response guide
- Model the target skill: reinforce column alignment of tens and ones places. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Identify the tens and ones digits and add single-digit quantities.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Align ones with ones; writing numbers beside one another without matching columns changes the sum.
Watch for: Align ones with ones; writing numbers beside one another without matching columns changes the sum.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
