Two representations, one story

Target: Match a situation to a representation that keeps both quantities.

Language target: Say what each row or axis shows.

Likely miss: Students choose a task that sounds interesting but cannot be checked.

Ask: Where are the two quantities in this representation?

If you see it: Ask what someone could measure or point to.

Evidence to listen for: The student selects a plan that can be tested.

Next: If the class likes a vague idea, help them rewrite it into a measurable question.

Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
