Skill Building

From Activity 5.1: Provide sentence frames to support students with explaining their strategies. For example, “I noticed that ______, so I ______.” or “First, I ________ because ________.” When students share their answers with a partner, prompt them to rehearse what they will say when they share with the full group. Rehearsing provides opportunities to clarify their thinking. From Lesson 5 “Are You Ready for More?”: Han, his sister, his dad, and his grandmother step onto a crowded bus with only 3 open seats for a 42 minute ride. They decide Han’s grandmother should sit for the entire ride. Han, his sister, and his dad take turns sitting in the remaining two seats, and Han’s dad sits 1.5 times as long as both Han and his sister. How many minutes did each one spend sitting?
