D659 Task 1
A: Feedback for Mina: Mina gave the correct answer and showed comprehension of
how to find the perimeter. Her reasoning on how she got the answer indicates that she
understands and depends on solving step-by-step addition, but she does not provide
the formula for the perimeter. “Great job explaining your thought process and breaking
the problem into steps! You correctly added the sides of the garden together to
calculate the perimeter, which shows your understanding of the concept. To further
strengthen your skills remember that the perimeter is the total distance around the
garden, so all four sides need to be included. You added 8+5=13 and then doubled it to
get 26 feet, which works because the garden is a rectangle, and opposite sides are
equal. Keep up the great work! You're showing strong mathematical thinking, and your
explanation demonstrates clear reasoning. If you have questions please ask for help!”
Actionable step for Mina: “Now try solving this problem: Marcus is making a
rectangular rug for his room. The rug is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. What is the area of
the rug?” Try this one on your own and if you need help let me know!”
Feedback for Will: Will provided the correct answer and showed that he knows how to
add the sides of the rectangle. However, his explanation does not show how he got his
answer. “Great job, Will! You correctly calculated the perimeter of the garden and
showed a clear understanding of the concept. Here are a few ways you can continue to
