These are fictional plans or diagrams, not classroom trials or known material behaviour. Each is a fresh example to adapt after the daily lesson, never a replacement for the held assessment. If an approved real object is later tried, record actual local date/conditions/result separately. Children may answer through speech, point, sign, AAC, adult scribe or broad fixed tactile shapes. Do not force an object or require family equipment.

Day 51

  1. Library return tray drawing: A page shows an arrow toward a drawn tray opening. Worked report: “The arrow points toward the opening; no book was moved here. I could ask whether a broad card can pass safely.”
  2. Garden label sketch: Two lines surround an outline of a large plant label. Worked report: “I can see the outline between lines in a sketch; that does not prove a real label moved.”

Day 52

  1. Art-folder plan: A broad folder outline has its short side toward a 10 cm paper gap. Worked report: “My model prediction is that the short side may fit; I would record a separate before prediction for an actual approved folder.”
  2. Toy-road drawing: A 7 cm wide block outline faces an 11 cm marked road. Worked report: “The drawn widths suggest room; an actual result is NOT TESTED.”

Day 53

  1. Music-card plan: A paper card outline is drawn inside a corridor. Worked report: “The diagram shows inside; it does not show an actual slow slide, so I record NOT TESTED.”
  2. Postcard staging: An adult-approved large real card could be slid once between fixed strips. Worked report: “Record the actual date, measured width, gentle action and INSIDE/TOUCHED/STOPPED only after it truly happens.”

Day 54

  1. Map-folder sketch: One large folder outline appears lengthwise then crosswise in the same drawn passage. Worked report: “Orientation changed; folder size and material did not change in the plan.”
  2. Stage-sign plan: Same broad sign outline is turned while drawn lines stay fixed. Worked report: “Compare the two drawings as drawings; actual passage needs two safe dated tries.”

Day 55

  1. Lunch-mat sketch: A broad rectangle is drawn in two orientations beside a marked gap. Worked report: “I can ask which orientation might pass; this new drawing is NOT TESTED.”
  2. Parcel-card plan: A large card outline appears beside two straight lines. Worked report: “Before a real try I would predict, then adult check slow and flat with no force.”

Day 56

  1. Exhibition-label plan: Two same-material-labelled large rectangles are 7 cm and 11 cm across an 8 cm drawn gap. Worked report: “The smaller outline fits between drawn lines; no real labels were measured or moved.”
  2. Seed-tray sign plan: Large signs differ in width and thickness. Worked report: “I cannot claim width alone from a future difference unless I record and consider thickness/material/action.”

Day 57

  1. Picnic-shape drawing: A 6 cm circle and 9 cm square face an 8 cm gap. Worked report: “Both shape and width differ; this cannot isolate shape.”
  2. Museum-tag plan: A 7 cm square and 7 cm diameter circle have the same marked maximum width. Worked report: “The drawing holds maximum width more closely; real material and movement still need verification.”

Day 58

  1. Book-display plan: One 11 cm broad outline faces drawn 10 cm and 15 cm passages. Worked report: “The gap changed in the diagram; no book actually moved.”
  2. Building-block mat: A large safe approved block could be moved on a tabletop after adult marks two widths. Worked report: “Same block/orientation/surface/action; record both real gap widths and distinct outcomes, or NOT TESTED.”

Day 59

  1. Festival-banner plan: The speaker says “Every banner passes.” Worked report: “My drawing only shows one outline and one gap; I cannot say every banner passes.”
  2. Transport-map sketch: A route line crosses a drawn opening. Worked report: “The map has a line through the opening; no object moved. I need an actual dated safe source to make a movement claim.”

Day 60

  1. Classroom-display card: One broad card outline sits by two invented widths. Worked report: “I can say which paper gap is wider and ask what one actual approved card would do; paper alone is not a result.”
  2. Outdoor-activity map: A drawn route is wide in one place and narrow in another. Worked report: “This is a map comparison, not a test of a real object; do not use a person's route or mobility as the tested prop.”
