Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Learner choices

Target/codes: independently copy/continue a new three-position repeat and recognise/create two familiar shapes with reasons; AC9MFA01, AC9MFSP01. Prepare: unseen Check B and teacher-held fresh-check print. Do not preview its unit or drawing.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Explain that a new paper model helps decide what to practise. No sound, time pressure or polished drawing is required.
  2. Access · 4 min. Offer broad cards, raised/text boundaries, neutral read-aloud, AAC or child-directed adult placement. Do not point to the next card or supply the shape reason.
  3. First unit · 5 min. Child copies the fresh given strip and marks/points to the whole repeating part. Save the first unit identification before a hint.
  4. Independent response · 7 min. Child places all three next cards, finds the two shapes in the new pretend station drawing, gives a boundary reason and creates one matching shape. A/B/C in Check B carry the same targets.
  5. Boundary · 4 min. Ask which repeated part justified the continuation and which physical boundary justified each shape name. Record access separately from content prompts; use public staff key after capture.
  6. Close · 2 min. Give one next step, then offer Day 180 after-check practice with a different unit and invented drawing.

The twenty optional swaps support new contexts but are not a compulsory second lesson. The desk run-through reports offline checks only; local educators must inspect pieces, accessibility and their state/territory sequence.
