Goal: represent and name 14 as ten and four. Codes: AC9MFN01, AC9MFN03. Prepare: card F, a ten-frame and four separate large counters.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Make 7 as 5 and 2; ask which is the whole and check all seven are present.
- Model · 5 min. Fill ten spots, then place four beside the frame. Count “ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen”; show numeral 14. Say the 1 names one ten, not one loose counter.
- Guide · 5 min. Give one full ten-frame plus 2 separate counters; child names 12, then shows the numeral card.
- Independent · 7 min. New one full ten-frame plus 4; child builds/chooses 14, points to the ten and four, and recounts if needed. Record whether the child shows a matching collection.
- Compare · 3 min. Place numeral 41 beside 14; ask which matches ten and four. Expected 14. Avoid a place-value lecture beyond this concrete distinction.
- Exit · 2 min. Full ten plus one; expect 11. If teen naming is uncertain, retain the full frame tomorrow.
