Notes de l'éditeur
- IMPORTANT: There are two versions of the graph for the activity where students guess which actions are the most important by placing sticky notes on the projection. The main difference is that the first does not include the action, “have one fewer child” which a teacher may choose to not include in the lesson plan. Teachers are encouraged to use their professional judgment in adapting these resources to their particular learning environments.
