Choose a taught sharing/grouping/repeated-whole relationship and make a meaningful instruction with a check.
About 20–30 minutes, unpiloted. Choose one route; shorten, split or pause. Days 71–80 are flexible sequence slots, not attendance or a claim about 195/200 calendar days.
Plain paper, a pencil or child-directed marks, safe large pieces and named places. A place can be a drawn box or spoken label. No food, real money, purchase, printer, account or device required. A helper moves only the piece/place the child chooses.
Offer one new small job from a relationship the child has actually been taught. Ask what is known and what must be found. If that distinction is not secure, teach a fresh smaller example rather than demand an independent guide.
A bare numeral omits whether it names cards each, complete packs, leftovers or cards in all. Teach a new eight-card/two-recipient job after retaining the first guide, then let the child add a clear quantity label. No compulsory public sharing.
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.

Fifteen whole character cards are shared equally between three pretend story makers. How many character cards should each maker receive? Make a label a helper can use. After the first chosen attempt, demonstrate: Name 15 as the whole collection and 3 as the known number of recipients. Deal one character card to each recipient in a complete round, or make a different equal-allocation model the child can explain. After 5 complete rounds each recipient has 5 character cards; 0 whole character 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 5 + 5 + 5=15. 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. Then introduce the complete different source Nineteen whole mini-kit cards are available. Each complete pack needs five cards. Make as many complete packs as possible and leave any cards left over aside. How many complete packs can be made, and how many cards remain? Make a label a helper can use. Discuss the change in purpose/quantities rather than presenting a shortcut answer.
Sixteen new museum-picture cards, four per complete display kit; guided 4 kits; contrast a separate share 16 among 4 with 4 cards each. Read this whole new job. Let the child identify what is known and choose a representation before showing the worked possibility. Keep the original collection visible and ask what the useful answer names.
Offer one complete route below, not all three as a workload. The child may change response mode or pause. Keep the full source visible, leave own-record spaces empty and retain the first model/words before any numerical hint.
Make a tiny practical guide with whole source, model, useful answer and check. Include the exact source identity, useful answer unit and any whole leftovers. Invite a willing helper to follow it; if no helper is available, the child can point through the instruction. A planned invitation is not evidence that another person used it.
Choose an unused eligible held case only after component-teaching and exposure checks, or a fresh ordinary twelve-card/three-per-pack job. Preserve exact source, first words/model and separate hints. Record the particular component shown/not yet shown/not observed and actual support. Select the specific unrelated next lesson after the first record; do not turn a revised answer into a new independent sample.
Eighteen whole comic cards are shared equally between three pretend makers. How many cards go to each? Make a useful share label.
A tiny practical guide with whole source, model, useful answer and check.
Name 18 as the whole collection and 3 as the known number of recipients. Deal one comic card to each recipient in a complete round, or make a different equal-allocation model the child can explain. After 6 complete rounds each recipient has 6 comic cards; 0 whole comic 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 6 + 6 + 6=18. 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.
Matching neutral route and empty record
Twenty whole model cards are available. A complete kit needs six cards. Make as many complete kits as possible and leave leftovers aside. What should the complete-kit/spare label say?
A tiny practical guide with whole source, model, useful answer and check.
Name 20 as the whole available collection and 6 model cards as the required size of each complete pack. Take exactly 6 at a time into a new named pack; check that size before calling it complete. There are 3 complete packs and 2 whole model cards aside. 6+6+6=18; 18+2=20. The requested number 3 names packs; 6 names members in one pack. A leftover group of fewer than 6 is not another complete pack. Count or rebuild all original members to check; repeated addition, known groups or a supported subtraction model are possible taught methods, not a required memorised division fact.

Four pretend puppet kits each need three whole cards. How many cards are needed in all? Make a useful request label.
A tiny practical guide with whole source, model, useful answer and check.
There are 4 known kits with 3 puppet cards in every kit. Build or draw each kit separately and count every member once. 3+3+3+3=12 puppet cards in all. The numbers 4 and 3 name different quantities, so adding them as two loose parts would not represent the kits. Check each of the 4 kits still contains 3; then recount or use another taught equal-group method. A multiplication symbol is optional adult shorthand, not a prerequisite or a demand for times-table recall.
