Day 47 · Put your records to work
Useful job: Organise a small weather record so a reader can see a bounded relation. Target: AC9S1I04/I05/I06; U02/H01 according to the selected relation. A tiny fictional series is not a local seasonal record.
Source/preparation: C13/C14 full records and broad empty organiser. Adult reads all times. The relation is selected for a question, not a minimum number of rows or climate calculation. P2 is an optional separate primary-source door about historical station statistics, not these invented results.
Six moves: (1) Ask what a reader wants to compare. (2) Read the whole selected record, keeping source periods/time labels with each item. (3) Invite the child's own grouping or representation before a worked pattern. (4) Choose one mechanism; support placing/marking without supplying the relation. (5) Show C14's unrecorded interval as unknown, not zero or no-weather. (6) Discuss what this small series can/cannot tell, retaining an open future question and whole-season limits.
Route 47.1 · Pattern ribbon
Use C13 and direct a paper ribbon or spoken chain through the two supplied morning/later pairs. Identify one repeated relation in those selected records, and label the next day unknown. Do not force a next prediction or promise it will repeat.
Say: “Where does a clue repeat? How far does your claim go?”
Route 47.2 · The gap gets a seat
Read C14. Child places an explicit “not recorded” seat between two recorded times, then asks a useful missing-interval question. Keeping the gap is useful work; drawing raindrops in it is not evidence.
Say: “Leave room for the part we don't know.”
Route 47.3 · Choose your organiser
For C13's same chosen question, child selects two-columns, a voiced sequence or directed physical picture positions. Explain one relation through that choice. Changing the organiser is welcome; no tool is superior because it looks more complicated.
Say: “Which organiser helps you show this clue?”
Small check/next: Represents the selected relation with correct time/source scope and retained gaps. Use C14 if unknown becomes absent; C15 if two days become a whole seasonal rule. Exit: “What could this little record help us ask next?”
