Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: A pencil covers 6 equal blocks. Its length is how many blocks?
- Connect the response to: Which measurement is fair?
- Ask students to apply the idea: Draw a line that covers 5 equal squares.
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.
