Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: Which action helps keep a shared space ready?
- Connect the response to: Sort the cards.
- Ask students to apply the idea: Why can people share tasks?
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.
