Learner choices

Target/codes: sort/name familiar shapes by boundaries and describe object locations against fixed landmarks; AC9MFSP01, AC9MFSP02. Prepare: P193 gallery mat with SHELF A, SHELF B and BOARD fixed.

  1. Notice · 3 min. Show a broad circle dial, square tile and triangle marker as paper model pieces. Ask what would help a paper visitor find the circle without colour.
  2. Model · 4 min. Trace the circle's continuous curved boundary, then a triangle's three straight edges. Name only these observed features.
  3. Guide · 5 min. Child places the square tile between SHELF A and SHELF B, the circle below BOARD; fixed landmarks stay in place. Ask “between which two?” and “below what?”
  4. Independent route · 7 min. Day 193 A/B/C name two shapes with a feature and give both relative locations to a chosen paper visitor. No child body location or real-room navigation is tested.
  5. Reason check · 4 min. Deliberately move the square beside only SHELF A. Ask whether “between the shelves” still holds and which object moved. Accept pointing/directing.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Record one feature reason and one named landmark relation. If relation words are vague, practise with two immovable drawn markers.
