Anonymous group code: __________   Date: __________

Diagnostic probes

Explain or draw your reasoning. Your teacher will use these responses to choose what to revisit.

d1. Rename 2/3 in sixths. Explain what happens to each third.

d2. A learner claims 2/3 = 3/4 because both numbers increase by one. Does the claim preserve the endpoint?

Check after reteaching

Complete this check independently after discussing the model.

r1. Rename 3/4 in twelfths and explain why its amount stays the same.

Exit ticket

Complete both original exit questions independently. Use a drawing or explanation when asked.

e1. Compare 3/6 and 1/2. Choose <, =, or >. The wholes are the same size.

e2. Explain why 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
