Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: What fraction is shaded?
- Connect the response to: Fill in: 1/2 = ___/8.
- Ask students to apply the idea: Draw one whole in four equal parts. Shade two. Write an equivalent fraction.
Watch for: Accepting an answer without checking whether it uses the material and satisfies the requested relationship or criteria.
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.
