Student Practice
• Explain the problem and ask students to independently solve the problem on
their recording sheet.
• While students are working, look for 3 - 4 student examples to review during
presentations.
Reaching Consensus
• Students listen to other members explain how they solved the task.
• Students reach consensus on the answer, not on the solution process.
Student Presentations
• When selecting students to give presentations, choose those who will provide the
greatest teaching opportunity.
• Students who completed the Student Practice incorrectly and received help during
Reaching Consensus should present their mistake and how they corrected it.

Explanation of Steps: To prove that my answer is correct I must
multiply the size of the Southern Ocean, , by my answer

given in the table, which means that my answer is correct.
3c. 2.52 x 10 8 8.EE.4
3d. In 3a, I had to divide the area of the Indian Ocean by the area of the
Southern Ocean. So, I subtracted the exponents to find the final
power of ten in my answer. For 3c, I was given how many times
larger the area of the Pacific Ocean was than the area of the
Atlantic Ocean, and given the size of the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore,
I only had to multiply these two numbers. I added the exponents
to find the final power of ten in my answer.
