Term 1 Week 3 · Observing, predicting and measuring · CG Quarter 1, competency 4
| # | The misconception | Where it shows | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A number alone is a measurement — "six" | §C2, and in nearly every class | Ask: <span class="say" lang="fil">"Anim na ano?"</span> Do not answer it. Wait. The whole lesson is in that one question |
| 2 | An opinion is an observation — "the stone is beautiful" | §C3, worksheet ★ | Ask: <span class="say" lang="fil">"May kaklase ka bang maaaring hindi sumang-ayon?"</span> If yes, it is an opinion |
| 3 | A prediction is just a guess — "I only guessed" | §C1 | A prediction has a reason. Ask why did you predict that? Once there is a reason, it is science |
| 4 | A wrong prediction is a wrong answer | §C1, and at home | Say it out loud: <span class="say" lang="fil">"Mabuti ang maling hula. Iyan ang natutuhan natin."</span> Without this, they stop predicting |
| 5 | Measuring means starting anywhere on the ruler | §C2, groups disagree | Do not say anything is wrong. Ask: <span class="say" lang="fil">"Saan kayo nagsimula?"</span> The answer is the edge marked 0 |
| 6 | Counting is measuring — "four windows" | §IV item 4 | A count has no unit of length. Four is not four centimetres |
| 7 | Big and small are measurements — "the stone is big" | Worksheet B and C | That is an observation, not a measurement. Ask: <span class="say" lang="fil">"Gaano kalaki? Ilan?"</span> That is where it becomes one |
