This modelling the tools is incorporated into critical challenges at grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, however, it can be adapted for use at all grade levels.
Direct students who successfully completed the practice challenge to work
independently on a picture they select from the collection. When completed,
quickly review their work before directing them to select a new picture to
study. In the meanwhile, gather students who struggled with the practice
challenge and repeat the practice procedure, using less challenging pictures.
When students in this group are able to work on the task with a partner, give
them a new picture and chart to complete the challenge. Encourage students to
find as many clues as possible and to use the clues to reach conclusions for
each question.
