Target/codes: recognise/create familiar shapes in a fictional object drawing with boundary reasons, then continue a triangle–circle border; AC9MFA01, AC9MFSP01. Prepare: P179 shape reason cards, broad cutouts and repeat mat.
- Notice · 3 min. Show a made-up toy place: triangular roof, circular window and oblong rectangular door. Ask what feature makes the roof a triangle, beyond its colour.
- Model · 4 min. Trace the three straight roof sides and corners, then the continuous curved window boundary. Name TRIANGLE and CIRCLE from features.
- Guide · 5 min. Child finds the rectangle door, names a straight-side/corner reason, and creates one broad triangle or circle from a safe cutout or directed adult drawing.
- Independent route · 7 min. Day 179 A/B/C asks for two reasoned shape names, one created matching shape and continuation of the TRIANGLE–CIRCLE border. A paper theatre or model garden can substitute as fiction.
- Reason check · 4 min. Offer a rounded blob and a three-sided outline; ask which has a triangle reason. Then ask what border card comes after TRIANGLE–CIRCLE–TRIANGLE–CIRCLE.
- Exit · 2 min. Child shows one shape feature and the repeating pair. Do not score neat drawing or infer recognition in every real environment.
