Goal: order selected numerals from 0 to 20 and verify with matching collections. Codes: AC9MFN01, AC9MFN03. Prepare: card G and numeral path.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Build ten and four and match 14.
- Model · 5 min. Place 0, 7, 12, 16, 20 on the number path in order. Make seven with counters, then ten and two for twelve; explain why twelve comes after seven.
- Guide · 5 min. Give mixed 0, 5, 10, 15 cards; child places them increasing and checks with path positions or collections. Zero represents none in an empty tray, not missing data.
- Independent · 7 min. Shuffle card G; child orders 0, 7, 12, 16, 20, points to one matched collection, and says which is just before/after 16 in this selected list (12/20). Do not confuse list neighbours with consecutive integers.
- Reason · 3 min. Compare 12 and 16 as one ten plus two versus one ten plus six; expect 16 greater.
- Exit · 2 min. Ask child to show 0 with an empty tray and name a card greater than 12. Reteach numeral–collection matching if necessary.
