Two pretend pet-picture kits
About 5–8 minutes, unpiloted; one tiny job is enough. Stop or come back later.
Make one useful share/pack/request note with the source and answer meaning.
Ordinary home teaching, not an unseen held assessment. All quantities are fiction. A real local collection must be counted/reviewed and given a new source identity; do not claim these are actual home objects.

Six whole paper pet cards are shared equally between two pretend picture kits. How many cards go in each?
What is the whole job asking us to find? What do these numbers name? Show your first idea; I will not choose the amount for you.
- 1. Read this complete source. Draw named places or use chosen safe large pieces; do not preset the answer.
- 2. Let the child make a first model in objects, marks, speech/sign/AAC or by directing your exact movement. Ask what the answer counts.
- 3. Retain that first record. Only then use the separate adult worked possibility to teach/check the equality, full-pack or equal-kit rule and every original member.
- 4. Make a small useful label. It can stay private; no photo, device or public performance needed.

Adult teaching · open after the first try
Name 6 as the whole collection and 2 as the known number of recipients. Deal one paper pet card to each recipient in a complete round, or make a different equal-allocation model the child can explain. After 3 complete rounds each recipient has 3 paper pet cards; 0 whole paper pet cards remain aside. Check every recipient has the same amount and that every member of the original collection is in exactly one recipient place or the leftover place. The collection check is 3 + 3=6. The requested answer names an amount per recipient, not the total or number of recipients. Do not split a whole card or invent more members; another fairness arrangement would need a different agreed job.
A whole different later job
A different home try
Eight whole story marks are shared equally between two pretend story places. How many go to each?
On another occasion, introduce this complete different job: Eight whole story marks are shared equally between two pretend story places. How many go to each? Ask what is known and what answer would be useful before a hint. After their first try, adult teaching is: Name 8 as the whole collection and 2 as the known number of recipients. Deal one story mark to each recipient in a complete round, or make a different equal-allocation model the child can explain. After 4 complete rounds each recipient has 4 story marks; 0 whole story marks remain aside. Check every recipient has the same amount and that every member of the original collection is in exactly one recipient place or the leftover place. The collection check is 4 + 4=8. The requested answer names an amount per recipient, not the total or number of recipients. Do not split a whole card or invent more members; another fairness arrangement would need a different agreed job.
Let the child mix objects, a drawing, speech, signing, AAC, tactile marks or an exact directed helper. Read the whole source and allow processing time. Offer a quiet seated route and a pause. Record reading/motor access separately from hints that choose a mathematical step. These are choices, not fixed learning styles or neurotype assignments.
