Learner choices

Target/codes: collect and sort the ten supplied BOOK/MAP pictures for a given question; quantify and compare 6 to 4 with a reason; AC9MFST01, AC9MFN03. Prepare: P181 and the sort mat.

  1. Notice · 3 min. Read the given question: “In these ten supplied labels, which picture is more common?” Point to the source boundary: one packet, not a real library.
  2. Model · 4 min. Place a single BOOK and MAP picture in their matching labelled columns, then leave the rest mixed. Show one mark for each moved picture.
  3. Guide · 5 min. Child/directing adult moves the remaining pictures once each, counts each column and checks that 6 + 4 accounts for all ten. Pause if a card is lost.
  4. Independent route · 7 min. Day 181 A/B/C all require a sorted representation, counts 6 BOOK/4 MAP, and a more-than explanation. Context may be a paper packet of reading-room icons or toy shelf tags, never a real service census.
  5. Evidence check · 4 min. Ask “Can we say most real library users choose books?” Elicit “No; we only counted these supplied pictures.” Pair one-to-one if the child relies on column length.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Child shows one mark attached to one source picture. Next step for double counting: move a picture to a DONE area after marking.
