Let’s understand the idea.
- Name the original unit before changing a measured quantity.
- An exchange changes the representation, not the amount.
- Link each physical or drawn change to the written calculation and check the units.
Something to notice
Ask the learner to explain one new measured calculation, connecting the original unit, a model action and a written step. Record actual assistance and exposure. Correct typed fields alone do not establish an oral explanation or independent understanding.
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.
