# Picture shapes · tell two scenes of a collage

Direct a pretend collage story with 17 marks or existing suitable picture pieces. You do not need glue or scissors.

1. Invent two scene names, such as sky and ground. Point, sign or tell a helper which waiting members belong in each scene.
2. Narrate the first picture: show how many are in each part and how they account for the whole.
3. Give a different version of the story by directing a move between the two parts. The same members leave one scene and join the other.
4. Tell why you would keep one version for this picture. Trace every member once to check that the new story has not added a second collection.

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.

**Retained ordinary model.** 5 + 12 = 17. 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](../teacher/day-43.md) 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 ten-and-ones is the only accepted split, physically move two objects between parts of a different teen. Check each part and recombine. If equal sharing is imposed, choose two jobs with different needs.
