16. Math Molly is a sixth grade student
who is a super soccer player.
She doesn’t feel like a champ in
math class, though. She
understands what the teacher is
saying while explaining how
and why to do long division but when it’s her turn to
solve a division problem she seems to get lost. It’s hard
to keep the numbers in the right places so that the
correct subtraction will move her to the next step.
How can we help Molly with the CC
Standard 6.NS: Fluently divide multi‐digit
numbers using the standard algorithm.

17. Reading: Literature
Alex is in Kindergarten. He loves his
Legos and inventing great adventures
with his action figures. He often loses
focus during story time and has trouble
answering questions about what the
teacher has read.
How can we help Alex with the CC
Standard K.RL.1: With prompting and
support, ask and answer questions
about key details in a text?
