Rules
The Rules icon emboldens learners to examine the topic for structure, hierarchy, or organizational elements. When the Rules icon is employed as the lens of learning, students will identify implicit and explicit rules and judge their relevance within the content.
Curricular Examples:
- Categorize the rules of place value to help you write the number in expanded form.
- Criticize the rules of proofreading your writing and determine how the practice of editing will help to enhance your work.
- Compare and contrast the societal rules of colonial America and indigenous communities.
- Solve a problem using the scientific method.
Question Stems:
- What steps does an author take to determine how the main ideas of the text are organized?
- How are the rules of the topic related to its patterns and details?
- What information does a biologist prioritize to explain the structure of an animal cell versus a plant cell?
Task Statement:
Students will verify the rules of linear functions using a graph and will share their findings in a proof.
