Teaching and response guide

  1. Read one label and connect it to the model.
  2. Compare two records using their units.
  3. Explain or revise one claim using the supplied evidence.

Watch for: Using only the unshaded parts as the denominator.

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.
