Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: Read the clock to the nearest five minutes.
- Connect the response to: Read this second clock.
- Ask students to apply the idea: Draw clock hands for 3:10. Place the hour hand correctly between numbers.
Watch for: Check the meaning of each quantity, the operation and the units; a numerical answer alone does not show the full reasoning.
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.
