Only complete PART A as Part B will be their homework. 4. Formative Assessment Instruction/Practice: Pass back formative assessments to students and track progress. Show examples of 1s, 2s, and 3s to students without the names shown so students are able to see the difference.

If time, guide students through page 45 of the textbook and have students record their answers to each question in their notebooks.
