[Solved] Level Case 1 Wyatt

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

Mr. Goldberg has been teaching a unit on fractions. He was pleased that all of his students seemed to quickly

master adding and subtracting two fractions. However, when he began teaching the students how to multiply

fractions, a small number of them did not readily learn the content. But after a quick mini-lesson, it appears that

all but three students seem to understand how to solve the problems. One of these students, Wyatt, seems to be

really struggling. Mr. Goldberg determines that he needs to collect some data to help him decide what type of error

Wyatt is making so that he can provide appropriate instruction to help Wyatt be successful. To do so, he decides to

evaluate Wyatt’s most recent independent classroom assignment.
