Learner prompts

35 = 3 + 7 + 12 + 8 + 5. Goal: narrow “clear for everyone” to an investigable paper-print question.

  1. 0–3: Read Source A. Ask for its counted unit, two variables and decision being requested. Distinguish paper inspection from any real visitor outcome.
  2. 3–10: Model a precise question: “At one recorded print setting, how often is the 5 mm inner border visibly unbroken for each drawn pattern family?” Mark what changes/is categorised and what is recorded. Explain that an internal pass criterion is not a human-access criterion.
  3. 10–22: Learners write a testable version of the broad claim and name design criteria for a future paper report: full-group numerator/denominator in title, a visible method limit, and a sheet-use tally/offcut option where suitable. No waste reduction or accessible outcome is measured.
  4. 22–30: Routes: annotate A in large print; assemble tactile unit / variable / criterion / untested audience cards; dictate or sign a question and two criteria with exact transcript. Partners ask whether another maker could apply each criterion as written.
  5. 30–35: Exit: “What would a pass here actually mean?” Key: one paper tile was coded under a single in-house border rule. Move: if learner says “viewer can see it”, separate paper line from a person's experience.

Alternate domain: Fictional theatre backdrop paper motifs, not a real audience test. Optional/home: draft a precise check for a made-up paper pattern using no materials.
