Discussion
Compare your responses with your group.
What else did you find to be valuable or important?
Using the Anchor Standards for Reading, determine which ones apply to Shift 4 and why?
Math: 4th Grade Close to 1,000 game:
Day 1: Students play game. Discuss strategies as they work.Day 2: 1) While students are playing call "STOP". 2) Students record the 6 cards in front of them & the number their chip is on.3) Students write what their next move will be & explain (on paper) why they think that is their next best move.4) Students share their writing with a partner. 5) Encourage partners to listen carefully and ask for clarification. 6) Select 1-2 partners & ask them to read practices 3 & 6 (poster).
8) Ask group to listen for evidence that partners 'constructed a viable argument' & 'attended to precision while doing so'. 9) Have students share connections between their work & the 2 practices highlighted.
Math: 3rd Grade: Franik's Marbles SAB 55
After students have completed the work on pages 54-55 ask, "Is it possible to start with more marbles than your partner on the first day, but end up with less on the 10th day? How?"
Then ask students to make their case using examples or evidence from the work they've been doing this week. Have students write these in their journals.
Third Grade Argumentation Sample Social Studies
Your class has been given the job of deciding what to do with one large piece of land that is the same size as your school’s playground. Where is the best place you would put the land (in a city, suburb, or rural community)? Explain why you would put the land in that community, and what you would do with the land. Support your claim with evidence from the texts and/or video.
