1Prepare
4 minState the learning goal, model one example, and decide whether learners will play alone, with a partner, or as a station. Predict what might happen, then identify the number, measurement, or cause-and-effect clue you will watch.

2Play and notice
12 minUse one focused round as a model or station. Watch for the strategy and explanation, not only the score. Pause after a result and compare it with the prediction. Notice what changed and what stayed the same.
3Explain
6 minChoose one: What evidence supported or changed your prediction? Or: How could you show the same idea with objects, a diagram, or numbers?
4Make it offline
8 minUse Grade 2 Measurement and Data Check-In to show the same skill away from the screen with drawing, labels, examples, or written reasoning.
Evidence to notice
CCSS 1.OA.C.6 Possible practice connection
Ask the learner to model one game problem with objects, a drawing, or an equation, then explain how the model matches the operation.
Adapt the challenge
Support
Use a smaller quantity, a drawing, counters, or a two-column comparison before returning to the full challenge.
Extend
Change one variable, predict the result, and explain why a fair comparison keeps other conditions the same.
Learner reflection
I tried a strategy. I noticed a pattern. I changed my plan. I explained my thinking.
