Companion to Week 11 Student Lessons. Do not show these answers before independent student work. Open-ended writing and science/history explanations require checking evidence, sources and coherence rather than exact phrasing.
Day 1
- Foundations: Nia packed two books and a pencil; she rechecked her list. 7+8=15;14-6=8;17=1 ten and 7 ones.
- Builders: 248+376=624;63÷7=9;3/4 of32=24. Reading: planned garden, revised inadequate pathway.
- Advancing: 4x-9=27→x=9;5/6+1/4=13/12;18% of200=36. Written analysis should distinguish planning from guaranteed results.
Day 2
- Foundations: 5+4=9;10-3=7;12+2=14. Seed drawing should include relevant parts.
- Builders: 36×8=288;144÷12=12;2.5+3.75=6.25. Hypothesis is testable proposal, not a result.
- Advancing: 15:25=3:5;3x+8=35→x=9;mean (4+6+8+12)/4=7.5. Check independent/dependent variables and honest treatment of uncollected data.
Day 3
- Foundations: 6+7=13;17-9=8. Compass labels N/S/E/W. Pencil measurement depends on actual pencil.
- Builders: rectangle perimeter 2(8+5)=26cm;3ft=36in;2/3 of24=16. Verify geographic facts against source.
- Advancing: scale 4.5×6=27km;triangle area=35cm². Real map limitations depend on scale and purpose.
Day 4
- Foundations: Sam found hat, took it to teacher. 4+6=10;9-5=4. Check sentence capitalization and punctuation.
- Builders: Suggested edit: ‘Sam found a hat. He gave it to the teacher.’ 27×6=162;84÷7=12;1/2+1/4=3/4.
- Advancing:2(x+5)=24→x=7;15% of80=12. Timeline evidence must be checked against two cited sources.
Day 5
- Foundations: Boy drew map, star marked pond;8+6=14;15-7=8;3×4=12.
- Builders:45×7=315;96÷8=12;3/4 of20=15;4.5+2.75=7.25. Main idea: careful students record evidence before interpreting.
- Advancing:5x-7=28→x=7;3/4+2/3=17/12;12% of250=30;mean(3,7,8,10)=7. Reading distinguishes testimony, evidence and unresolved claims.
Parents: Check Skills Separately
For each child privately record reading accuracy or listening comprehension, writing clarity, mathematics accuracy and reasoning, source evaluation, and a responsible explanation of the assigned Scripture in its own context. Mark independent, guided or reteach. Give a new problem after reteaching; a completed page alone is not proof of mastery.
