Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.60 Discussion Norms and Evidence Based Moves skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which response best synthesizes the evidence and proposes a next-step plan that follows discussion norms? Answer choices:

AChoose the survey because majority opinion always wins.

BSummarize both constraints (support and cost), name the missing subgroup, and propose gathering bus-rider data before making a recommendation.

CChoose the cost chart and ignore what students want.

DArgue about who brought better evidence instead of integrating it.

Solution & Explanation:A high-level evidence move synthesizes multiple constraints and spots gaps. The correct response integrates survey + cost, identifies missing voices, and sets a targeted next step.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which response best balances equitable discussion norms with evidence-based reasoning? Answer choices:

ALet the loudest voices decide; evidence and participation don’t matter.

BDemand that Anika speak immediately because it’s their turn.

CInvite Anika to share with an option to pass, then ask the group to connect their point to a line graph from a school report (or explain what evidence would be needed).

DAvoid hearing new perspectives because it might slow the group down.

Solution & Explanation:The best move increases equity without pressure and keeps evidence central. The correct response offers choice, invites the quieter member, and links ideas to evidence or needed evidence.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which response best redirects the group from speculation to evidence-based critique while maintaining norms? Answer choices:

ALet’s examine the study’s methods and compare its findings with a screenshot of a social media post instead of guessing the author’s motives.

BAgree that motives are all that matter, so the study can be ignored.

CInsult the speaker for bringing up agenda concerns.

DSay nothing—conflict is uncomfortable, so we should move on.

Solution & Explanation:The group should evaluate evidence quality (methods, replication, comparison), not speculate about intent. The correct response redirects respectfully and proposes a concrete comparison.
