Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: What is the probability of landing on A?
- Connect the response to: What is the probability of not landing on D?
- Ask students to apply the idea: In 40 spins, about how many A results would the model predict?
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.
