Learner choices

Target/code: share eight like paper tickets equally between two model kiosks, then verify no card remains and both counts match; AC9MFN06. Prepare: P172 eight broad tickets, two kiosk trays and share mat.

  1. Notice · 3 min. Show eight pretend tickets in a neutral centre pile. Ask whether a visual pile beside one kiosk already tells us each kiosk's share; it does not.
  2. Model · 4 min. Pair the first two tickets, one for each kiosk. Point to both recipient trays before continuing; avoid stating the final count.
  3. Guide · 5 min. Child chooses repeated dealing or matching pairs for the remaining six, with an adult mover if needed. Count the final groups once.
  4. Independent route · 7 min. Day 172 A/B/C uses kiosk, model ferry deck or gallery-wall fiction. Each route shows 4/4, no left-out ticket and an equal-share reason.
  5. Reason check · 4 min. Ask “If one kiosk had five and the other three, would they have the same number?” Let the child compare by moving or matching, without judging real people's needs.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Child explains one way to check equality. If number-word sequence is unreliable, use one-to-one partner pairs and a new smaller set later.
