Learner choices

Target/codes: identify/continue a whole repeating unit, give familiar shape reasons and describe model location relative to fixed markers; AC9MFA01, AC9MFSP01, AC9MFSP02. Prepare: P197, pattern strip, shape/place mat.

  1. Notice · 3 min. Show CIRCLE–SQUARE–TRIANGLE twice, with three blank spaces. Ask which whole part appears again.
  2. Model · 4 min. Box the first three shapes and match the second full unit; trace why square, circle and triangle differ by edges/corners or a curve.
  3. Guide · 5 min. Child places the next three shapes as CIRCLE–SQUARE–TRIANGLE, checking each position, not guessing only the next card.
  4. Independent route · 7 min. Day 197 A/B/C show the complete unit/continuation and tell where a circle is beside BOARD and a triangle inside a frame on the fixed mat.
  5. Reason check · 4 min. Offer CIRCLE–TRIANGLE–SQUARE as a proposed new unit. Child matches all positions and repairs order, then names a boundary reason for one shape.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Record pattern reasoning and spatial relation separately; do not infer recognition in every real environment.
