Use a Folder Path

Supplied materials

Learn the idea

A folder groups files. A path gives the locations to follow, from an outer folder to an inner one and then a file. The order matters. A file name alone may not identify one file when folders contain copies. Our paper tree supplies every location.

Follow the folder names in order and choose the file at the end of that path. Do not stop at a matching file name in a different folder.

Use this supplied case: Wanted: drawn leaf. Tree: Art contains Drawing/leaf and Photos/leaf; Sound contains Stories/fox and Songs/rain. Which full path fits? Use the details in this example. An adult may read the words aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.

1. Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
2. Follow the folder names in order and choose the file at the end of that path.
3. Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
4. Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Check your reasoning

Your answer is temporary and is not saved to an account. Download your current answer before leaving or reloading. Written work on paper or in another app stays in your own file.

Take it further

New tree: Work/Text/plan and Work/Images/plan. Expected: the same final name has two distinct paths and cannot alone identify the intended item.

Nothing here is saved to an account or sent to a teacher. The answer download includes your current choice and any checked feedback. It does not include choices from the separate More practice section. Download that section separately.
