Mini-Lesson: How do you determine other answers that a player might think of? How would you answer the question if you did it incorrectly? Why is it better to anticipate what a player might do instead of choosing random other choices?
In Groups: Students brainstorm and add multiple answers to the question using logical reasoning (we’ve used logical reasoning in previous projects) using Multiple Choice Question Drafting Worksheet.
California Content Standards |
| Mathematics |
| Grade Six
| Number Sense |
| MA.6.2.0. Students calculate and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division: |
| MA.6.2.1. Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of positive fractions and explain why a particular operation was used for a given situation. |
| Measurement and Geometry |
MA.6.1.0. Students deepen their understanding of the measurement of plane and solid shapes and use this understanding to solve problems: |
| MA.6.1.1. Understand the concept of a constant such as p; know the formulas for the circumference and area of a circle. |
| | MA.6.1.2. Know common estimates of p(3.14; 22/7) and use these values to estimate and calculate the circumference and the area of circles; compare with actual measurements. |
| | MA.6.1.3. Know and use the formulas for the volume of triangular prisms and cylinders (area of base x height); compare these formulas and explain the similarity between them and the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid. |
| MA.6.2.0. Students identify and describe the properties of two-dimensional figures: |
| MA.6.2.1. Identify angles as vertical, adjacent, complementary, or supplementary and provide descriptions of these terms. |
| | MA.6.2.2. Use the properties of complementary and supplementary angles and the sum of the angles of a triangle to solve problems involving an unknown angle. |
| | MA.6.2.3. Draw quadrilaterals and triangles from given information about them (e.g., a quadrilateral having equal sides but no right angles, a right isosceles triangle). |
