Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Success: explain why a correct sample percentage can still support an invalid population claim. Prepare Text B. (AC9E8LY03, AC9E8LY02)

Hook · 2 min. Read only “That proves 80% of all students cycle.” Ask what information a reader needs.
Reveal · 4 min. Read the rack location and 16/20 response. Model: 80% is accurate for those 20 reported responses; selection near bicycle racks makes “all” unsupported.
Guided sort · 5 min. Class marks reported sample result / population claim / policy recommendation. Ask which leap needs a better source.
Independent margin note · 7 min. Learners write a question to the poster and a bounded replacement sentence. Do not ask classmates how they travel.
Discuss · 4 min. Partners paraphrase the post fairly before critique. Teacher records who distinguishes “false arithmetic” from “unfair inference”.
Exit · 3 min. “What does 80% describe here?” Key: 16 of the 20 people by the racks in the fictional post, not all students.
