912Algebra_REI_LinearInequalities_Worksheet_Critique

Posted on by

This task is created for algebra students learning linear inequalities. A word problem and inequality derived from the problem are given, along with three sample solutions. The work helps to correct misconceptions on understanding what the inequality means, how to translate it into words, and how to change the inequality sign. Students are to critique each sample solution and provide a claim, evidence, and warrants.

912Algebra_SSE_GeometricSequences_Worksheet_ConstructCritique

Posted on by

This worksheet is created for algebra students learning geometric sequences. A geometric sequence is given and students are asked to write the explicit formula. Two sample answers are given, where the first term and common ratio are mixed up, and students are to critique the answers. Sentence starters are provided with argumentation language to support the use of a claim, evidence, and warrants in the creation of the critique.

912Algebra_SSE_Exponents_Worksheet_ConstructCritique

Posted on by

Algebra students are asked to use their knowledge of exponent rules to critique two student answers. Students must identify a solution they agree with and construct an argument using sentence starters that contain argumentation language. The exponential expression involves the quotient rule, product rule, and negative exponents rule. The task then asks students to justify their selection and critique by using mathematical language and argumentation and supplies a checklist to remind students to provide a claim, evidence, and warrants.

912Algebra_CED_LinearFunctions_Worksheet_ConstructCritique_FallingLeaves

Posted on by

Algebra students are to use their knowledge of linear functions to critique two student responses and construct their own solutions. Students are shown a pattern of the number of leaves falling per day and two responses stating the pattern and predicting the amount of leaves that will fall the next day. Argumentation language is present as students must agree or disagree with the responses, create a claim, and indicate any mistakes made. A response sheet is provided with sentence starters to reinforce the argument.

912Algebra_REI_LinearEquations_Worksheet_ConstructCritique_Multi-StepEquations

Posted on by

Multi-Step Equations is created for algebra students studying linear equations. Students are given a multi-step linear equation, involving addition and division, and must critique the three solutions provided. In paragraph sentence starters, students are must create a claim and an argument as to why the student responses are correct or incorrect. Argumentative language is used through the sentence starters and questions by asking students to defend a claim and provide evidence to explain mistakes.

Posted on by

Algebra students are asked to construct multiple equations given rates and flat fees. Students must interpret the problem in order to identify parts of an equation. The task is scaffolded by presenting multiple scenarios separately then combining equations using subtraction. Students must critique student work of combining equations using subtraction by using knowledge of combining like terms and the distributive property. A graphic organizer is provided for students to create an argument using a claim.

912Algebra_APR_LinearEquations_Worksheet_Critique_CritiquingProofs

Posted on by

Critiquing Proofs is designed for a geometry class, but can be used in an algebra setting, as the task asks students to critique the justification for solving linear equations. Following a three column table format of statements, reasons, and comments, students must accept, correct, or insert missing information for each step of the proof.
