Part 1: The Silent Measurement preview
Your roles today (from the Unit 1 role cards; today's job is in the box):

My role today: ______________________
Team card (the four targets). Measure each into the cup with the matching number. No talking, no writing, no mouthing words. Pointing and showing are allowed. The reset cue ends it.
| Cup | Target | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 cup water | Liquid: pour, set the cup on the table, read at eye level |
| 2 | 1/2 cup rice | Dry: spoon it in, level off with a straight edge |
| 3 | 2 tablespoons rice | Dry: spoon it in, level off |
| 4 | 1/4 cup water | Liquid: pour, set down, read at eye level |
Grade 6: cups 1, 2, and 4 only. Grade 8: add cup 5, 1 teaspoon rice, leveled.
Image for the team card: four cups in a row numbered 1 to 4, with a water drop drawn on cups 1 and 4 and a grain of rice on cups 2 and 3.
Check station result (the teacher fills this): Cup 1 ______ Cup 2 ______ Cup 3 ______ Cup 4 ______ (on the line / close / off)
Part 2: What we did without words
Directions: After the check, talk it over as a team and fill this in together.
| Question | Our answer |
|---|---|
| What did our team do without words? Circle all that we used: pointing / showing / waiting / taking over | |
| What helped? | |
| What hurt? | |
| One thing we would do differently |
Part 3: Our team norms
A norm is a behavior someone could see. "Be nice" is a feeling. "Ask the quiet person before we decide" is a norm. Test every norm with the question: "Could Mr. Prevosto see us doing this?" If not, rewrite it.
Examples of norms that pass the test:
- We wait for the Station Manager's point before we start.
- We say the amount out loud before we pour.
- We clean our own spill.
- Nobody leaves until the station check.
- We ask the quiet person what they think before we decide.
Sentence starter: "We ___ before we ___."
Our four norms:
- ________________________________________________________________
- ________________________________________________________________
- ________________________________________________________________
- ________________________________________________________________
Grade 6: three norms. Grade 8 stretch: a fifth norm that says what the team does when someone breaks a norm: ________________________________________________
We agree to these norms for every team task this year. If we break one, we fix it at the table first.
