Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Read or listen to the model and identify what the task asks before responding.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Find A’s absolute population change.
  2. Which district has the larger percentage increase?
  3. Why can the two totals alone not identify migration as the cause?

A common mistake to discuss

Population change can reflect births, deaths, and migration; components are not given.

What to practice next

Create a different example that preserves the learning goal, and explain how you would check it.
