CER is claim-evidence-reasoning. This process requires kids to make a claim, support the claim with evidence or data, and explain their reasoning or thinking. Edutopia has an introduction to CER. Next, you will want some examples and a slideshow. When I introduce kids to the idea of CER, I use Slide 19 in the slideshow just linked. I broadcast the data table and ask kids if all the liquids are the same. They study and table and say whether or not the liquids are the same. The key is to lead the discussion to get the class to articulate their reasoning based on the evidence posted in the table. Get in the habit of asking kids to support their claims with data.
