Let’s understand the idea.
- Choose a route that helps you see the repeated lengths.
- Both routes keep the reference meter and each ribbon's given length.
- A correct total also needs a matching route and every required group.
Something to notice
Ask the learner to point to one meter and explain what stays the same when pieces are renamed or a ribbon is split. Invite a different valid route without demonstrating the answer. Oral, child and educator evidence remains to be collected.
Try it. Change it. Explain it.
Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.
You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
