Paper game · you direct the next roundYear 1 Maths · T1 W9–10 · Choices / Day 41 route 3

Source review complete · local suitability still needs review.

Pretend you are setting up a paper game with 7 marks. Your helper follows your words, signs or AAC choices.

  1. Name two jobs: this round and next round. Tell your helper where to put each waiting mark, taking it out of waiting as it gets a job.
  2. Ask your helper to point to each part while you show its amount. Every mark has one job.
  3. Announce a change for the next scene: move some of these same marks to the other job. Say or show which old place they leave.
  4. Tell the ending: what are the two parts now, and why is this still your same collection? Keep your first plan or choose one that suits your pretend game.

Point, speak, sign, use AAC or tell a helper where to put the marks. A quiet private try or pause is fine. No photo, returned homework, purchase or independent drawing/moving is needed.

Grown-up help

Retained ordinary model. 2 + 5 = 7. Give a model only when useful after the child's first thinking; it is not an independently found response.

Director route. Follow the child's words/signs/AAC choices faithfully; neutral reading and physical operation are different from a maths hint. Use a smaller honest actual amount or pause privately if needed. Below-ten practice cannot establish a full-ten exchange. A narrated proposed move is not an observed physical move.

Full daily plan gives today's exact reasoning and next instruction. This is an ordinary practice model, not a reserved fresh answer. If the total is too large, choose and label a smaller actual collection while keeping the partition purpose. Adult movement follows the child's decisions. Supplied counts are support, not evidence of independently finding that count. If an object is counted in both parts, move one new small collection once into two outlined places; remove each object from waiting before placing it.
