Goal: independently show number, order, compare and add/remove reasoning with new objects. Codes: AC9MFN01, AC9MFN03, AC9MFN04, AC9MFN05. Prepare: unseen assessment, ten-frame, large counters, blank trays.
- Welcome · 3 min. Explain this helps choose tomorrow's practice; no race or public rank.
- Number · 6 min. Give new ten-frame and counters; child shows 15 as ten and five and names numeral. Then compare 13 and 15 with representations.
- Change · 6 min. Give the fresh 6-plus-3 and 9-remove-2 setups from the assessment, one at a time. Keep the first response before a hint.
- Parts/order · 5 min. Ask for a fresh split of 8 and the selected 0/9/14/20 order. Let the child show the reasoning physically or digitally.
- Explain · 3 min. Child states or selects one way they checked. Record exact strategy and any prompt.
- Close · 2 min. Choose a concrete next lesson from the rubric. A task inaccessible under the provided route is not observed and needs another route.
Continue daily counting in meaningful contexts after this sample. The integrated portfolio conversation records other learning separately; do not derive a whole-child label from these four mathematical items.
