Lesson 4

Searching the Forest

Est. Class Sessions: 4

Summarizing the Lesson

Advise students that they are going to share their solutions to Question 9 with another group.

To prepare them to share, ask:

X
  • What should you include in your explanation to be sure that the other group knows what you did and is convinced your solution is reasonable?
  • What should you expect to see in the explanations of the other group?

Organize the class so that pairs can share their solutions with two other students. Encourage them to ask each other clarification questions and make suggestions that would help improve explanations. For example, students may ask, “How did you know red was going to be the most? How did you decide on the number of red tiles in your prediction?”

After students have shared their solution with another group they can revise their work based on the feedback and questions they received.

Assign the Jocelyn's Wildflowers Assessment Masters in the Teacher Guide. Ask students to complete this assessment independently.
