What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students tell what might have caused a familiar event, such as a wet floor. With picture cards and teacher help, they put events in order and tell how one led to the next.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can order pictures of a cup tipping, water spilling, and someone wiping it up. They can explain why the water spilled and name another possible cause of a wet floor.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name anything that happened earlier as the cause, even if it is unrelated. They may put cleanup before the spill or tell what happened first without explaining why the next event happened.
How to Assess It
- Give students three picture cards showing a cup tipping, water spilling, and someone wiping it up. Have them order the cards and tell why the water spilled.
