Target/codes: collect/sort eleven supplied theatre cue pictures and compare 8 TRIANGLE to 3 CIRCLE with item-based evidence; AC9MFST01, AC9MFN03. Prepare: P184 and sort mat.
- Notice · 3 min. Read the given question “Which cue picture is more on this pretend theatre sheet?” A cue picture is not a real performance count.
- Model · 4 min. Draw one tally mark beside one TRIANGLE card and put that card in a DONE row. Draw a second mark only for a second card.
- Guide · 5 min. Child completes a two-column sort, checks every source card exactly once, counts 8 TRIANGLE and 3 CIRCLE.
- Independent route · 7 min. Day 184 A/B/C use cards, a pen-tracked sheet or child-directed adult moves. Require both counts and a demonstration that TRIANGLE has more, such as five unmatched triangle cards.
- Boundary · 4 min. Ask “Does this tell us which shape performers prefer?” No: these are invented cue images, not answers from people. Then intentionally leave one card outside the sort and let child repair the missing count.
- Exit · 2 min. Child names a source-completeness check. If marks are not one-to-one, try a physically moved DONE column tomorrow after the fresh check.
