Something to notice
Ask for an explanation or drawing on a new example. Record actual words, pointing, prior exposure and assistance. A saved answer does not prove reasoning without calculation.
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.
