GRADED A+ MATERIALS
Which two tools can be used to teach a lesson on fractions? - CORRECT
ANSWER - -Tangram-Multiple different shapes that can be added or taken
away.
Cuisenaire rods
Which two tools can help a student visualize similar triangles? - CORRECT
ANSWER - -Grid paper
Dynamic geometry software - are computer programs which allow one to create
and then manipulate geometric constructions, primarily in plane geometry.
Students are learning about the concept of the perimeter of a rectangle.
Which tool would help to effectively teach this concept? - CORRECT
ANSWER - -A ruler to measure side lengths of at least five rectangles
How does a teacher use a rubric to analyze student performance? - CORRECT
ANSWER - -To assign a score to a mathematical task based on a preset scoring
framework
*Not Grade*
Students in a fourth-grade class work on the following problem:
, I am thinking of a three-digit number. The number is divisible by 3, 4, and 7.
The number is
less than 500. The third digit is the sum of the first two digits. What is the
number I am
thinking of?
How should the teacher use a rubric to assess the progress of the students? -
CORRECT ANSWER - -Describe the expectations of the rubric to the
students before they work the problem
Place Value Struggles - CORRECT ANSWER - -A student writes six hundred
three as 63.
A student writes the expanded form of 32 as 3 + 2.
During an in-class assignment covering the day's lesson on similar triangles, a
teacher noticed several students making the following error.
(Image Description) Two similar acute triangles, one small and one large. The
small triangle has the length of all three sides labeled: the left measures 4
inches, the right measures 5 inches, and the base measures 7 inches. The large
triangle has two sides labeled: the left measures 12 inches and the right
measures 15 inches. The base is left unlabeled. The student work is listed below
the triangles in five vertically stacked lines of text. The first line shows 4 over 7
equals x over 12. The second line shows 4 times 12 equals 7x. The third line
shows 48 equals 7x. The fourth line shows 48 over 7 equals x. The fifth line
shows x equals 6.86 inches.
Which part of the lesson should be retaught to help students understand the
material? - CORRECT ANSWER - -The properties of similar figures
