The five fictional source badges have two visible fields. ID 1 is circle + solid border (CS); 2 triangle + dashed (TD); 3 circle + dashed (CD); 4 triangle + solid (TS); 5 circle + border NOT SHOWN (C?). “Not shown” means unknown from this source, not “no border.” The source may be represented with five large physical card/foam tokens, five printed pictures and agreed written/tactile symbols. A token must really be a manipulable physical object; a screen image or printed drawing alone remains a picture. For a child who cannot touch, they direct an adult to move the physical token and the adult records the support honestly.

A · Fictional badge source

A4 SVG · A4 PDF. Five original illustrated cards show circle/triangle shapes and solid/dashed/hidden border labels. The ID, shape and border have word and graphic cues; colour is not the key. The sheet is the provided fictional source, not a live plant, animal or inventory. Make broad physical stand-ins if assessing the object form.

B · Group by shape

A4 SVG · A4 PDF. Large empty CIRCLE and TRIANGLE group bays with a printed question. The worked assignment is IDs 1, 3, 5 in circle and 2, 4 in triangle. A missing border does not hide badge 5's shape. Use a broad physical token set or child-directed placements.

C · Change the rule to border

A4 SVG · A4 PDF. Empty SOLID, DASHED and CANNOT TELL bays. The worked assignment is solid 1, 4, dashed 2, 3, cannot tell 5. This is a change of question; no badge itself changed. Keep the source in view. Never force 5 into solid/dashed or treat unknown as a third real border pattern.

D · Object, picture and symbol display

A4 SVG · A4 PDF. Three separated broad rows for actual physical tokens, drawn pictures and agreed symbol codes; spaces 1–5 stay aligned with the source. Codes CS TD CD TS C? are our invented key, not an official alphabet for digital data. A flat page cannot itself supply the physical-object row. Pair it with large safe stand-ins.

E · Fictional holder trial record

A4 SVG · A4 PDF. A made-up class story marks P HELD, Q SLIPPED, R NOT TESTED, S HELD for a five-card holder. These are stated source data, not results from this class, predictions from material names or a comparative material study. Children can group P/S under HELD, Q under SLIPPED and R under NOT TESTED, then represent that source faithfully. Integrated Week 6 supplies a separate real design/material test.

F · Own-data and source evidence mat

A4 SVG · A4 PDF. Keep MY NAME · EMPTY, MY FACE PHOTO · EMPTY and MY VOICE RECORDING · EMPTY distinct from a neutral badge icon and fictional holder mark. These are empty category examples only; never ask a child to fill or share them. A separate panel says PAPER PLAN / ACTUAL DEVICE ACTION / REAL LOCAL OBSERVATION so evidence types are not silently merged.

The two fresh public checks use different sources in STUDENT-CHECKS.md; keep their teacher key closed until a first complete response is saved. Every A4 page has an exact text and tactile route.

Set up: print or display large high-contrast copies, prepare clean broad safe physical tokens with fixed raised outline/ID cues, check loose parts and materials under school policy, and offer pointing, AAC, neutral reading/scribing and pass. No outdoor collection, child data, camera, account or internet is required. The offline sorter is optional after device approval; its paper route reaches the same grouping target. Source photographs or local material-test results, if substituted, need separate rights, provenance, safety and privacy review.
