Ratio tables
Target: Complete a row of a ratio table with one factor.
Language target: Explain a row as “times” the first row.
Likely miss: Students complete a table by adding down a column instead of multiplying a whole row.
Ask: Does that factor work in both columns?
If you see it: Have the student underline both products and name the shared factor before computing.
Evidence to listen for: A new row uses one factor for both columns.
Next: Return to a double number line if addition appears. Otherwise compare two ratios.
Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
