Goal: recognise a familiar 2D outline within an original pictured object and justify where it is. Proposed code: AC9MFSP01. Prepare: educator-made paper room picture: round clock face, triangular bunting, square tile, oblong table top; Card 104.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Briefly trace circle, triangle, square and oblong practice outlines with a child-selected route.
  2. Model · 4 min. Point only to the clock face in the drawing: it looks circle-like because its visible outline curves around. The whole clock may have depth.
  3. Guide · 5 min. Children find bunting's triangular face and count three edges/corners on the drawing. Ask if the hanging string is part of that triangle.
  4. Independent locate · 7 min. Child chooses a different pictured object part, traces its boundary and names a familiar shape with a reason. Record exactly which part was chosen.
  5. Transfer · 4 min. Show an angled view of the table top and ask whether one picture alone proves every real table has that shape. Expect a bounded claim about this drawing.
  6. Exit · 2 min. “What part did you look at, and what shape clue did you check?” Reteach part-versus-whole if blurred.
