Lesson 4

Distance vs. Time

Est. Class Sessions: 4

Summarizing the Lesson

Assign student pairs to review each other's work. This will make the follow-up discussion more efficient.

After students display their solution to Question 16, discuss Question 17.

  • What would happen if you had to walk up a set of stairs?
  • What would happen if you had to walk on a bridge?
  • What if you walked downhill?
  • What if you walked on gravel or sand?
  • What if you walked through some tall grass?
  • What if you got tired?

Students should be able to see that it would be difficult to keep the same pace the entire hour, even without changing the walking conditions.

Refer students to the work displayed around the room for Question 16. Ask students to look back at the predictions they made in Questions 1–2. Ask if their estimates were close.

Distribute the Distance vs. Time Check-In: Question 16 Feedback Box Master to each student pair. Tell students that they are going to look at one of the pieces of work displayed around the room and provide feedback to their peers. Assign each pair of students a piece of student work to review using the Feedback Box. Students should write notes on the Feedback Box that specifically describe what the students did well and what they need to work on. For example, if a piece of work has some numbers labeled but not enough to tell what the numbers mean, the reviewer would respond with “Yes, but you did not include labels on your ratio, so I could not tell what they meant.”

Use the Distance vs. Time Check-In: Question 16 Feedback Box Master to support students as they assess their peers' abilities to know the problem [MPE1]; find a strategy [MPE2]; show work [MPE5]; and use labels [MPE6].

After student pairs have finished their review, have them return to their student work to discuss the feedback provided. Encourage students to revise their work based on this discussion.
