Interpret a display

Target: Answer a question by counting observations, not axis labels.

Language target: Cite the display in the answer.

Likely miss: Students read a single bar as the whole story.

Ask: Where in the display is that number?

If you see it: Ask what comparison the display supports, and what it does not.

Evidence to listen for: The student cites a value from the display in a sentence.

Next: If the claim goes beyond the data, ask where that number is.

Homework mark for this device

Until a teacher sets it here, family practice is optional. Stars are an incentive, not a grade. This setting is local. It is not a district roster.

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