Complete text and tactile routes… | Year 11 Inquiry · T1 W3–4 · Text…

The SVG/PDF files are original layouts. These ordered routes contain every instructional field and caution; colour, sound, fine motor marking and visual shape recognition are never necessary for the reasoning target. A learner may answer in Braille, print, AAC, sign, dictated words, typed text or movable labelled cards. Offer stable high-contrast print or large text as appropriate and check with the learner rather than claiming universal accessibility. Blank lines on a PDF are response spaces, not secret content. Never infer independent reading from a read-aloud alone.

Source-claim mat · Days 11–20

Title: Read the claim; keep the condition. Intro: “A public sentence is made by someone, for someone, from selected facts.” Four boxes in reading order:

Text / maker / audience. Say the maker and intended audience. Copy or reproduce one exact word or phrase that positions a reader.
Desk note / model. State the unit, base, period or whole-set rule before calculating.
What the numbers support. Name the group, quantity and known comparison. Put the arithmetic next to the group it describes.
Revise and keep unknown visible. Finish “For this group and model, I can say …”. Name a still-unknown term or next source needed.

Footer caution: Do not turn an invented price or one case into a universal promise.

Tactile route: Four numbered, separately textured or raised-edge cards can be arranged left to right. Put a word card for “exact phrase” on card 1, unit/base/period tokens on card 2, quantities on card 3, and an UNKNOWN token on card 4. Texture has no meaning unless a spoken/Braille number label accompanies it. The learner directs the order and states the revision.

Rate-base mat · Days 11, 13 and 16

Title: Compare like quantities. Intro: “For a whole pack, count packs before multiplying the price.” Four ordered areas:

The need. Record quantity and unit. Choose YES, NO or UNKNOWN for whether part of a pack can be bought.
Two stated rules. For A and B separately write fixed + (per unit × quantity) or whole packs × set price as the source requires. Do not combine incompatible units.
Matched totals. Record A total, B total and the known gap for the same needed quantity.
Condition and missing term. Say “only at this quantity”; place delivery or quality in UNKNOWN if the source does not supply it.

Tactile route: Put a labelled NEED quantity card first, two vertical A/B rule rows next, paired TOTAL cards after them, and an UNKNOWN card last. For whole packs, use complete labelled rectangles; a part-card may stand for needed use but must not be counted as a purchasable fraction unless the source permits it.

Budget-window mat · Days 14 and 19

Title: What is actually available? Intro: “Separate an allocation from committed, proposed and unknown amounts.” Four ordered areas:

Window / income. State one week, four-week what-if or other explicit period, then the allocation for that period.
Categories. Name FIXED or already committed; DISCRETIONARY or proposed; and UNKNOWN, which is not $0.
Remainder. Calculate allocation − stated commitments − chosen proposal, with currency unit.
Repeat only if assumptions hold. Name the period and what needs a fresh quote or recheck before any future claim.

Tactile route: Four ordered cards WINDOW, CATEGORIES, REMAINDER, RECHECK. Within CATEGORIES use three independently labelled pockets FIXED, PROPOSED and UNKNOWN. An empty UNKNOWN pocket does not mean zero; place a tactile question-mark token there. Duplicate the full one-week stack four times only for the source's unchanged four-week what-if.

Percent-period mat · Days 15, 18 and 20

Title: Name the base. Name the period. Intro: “Percentages change a stated base; time must match the rate.” Four ordered areas:

First base and operation. Record the dollar base or starting amount and the exact percentage. Mark increase, decrease, GST addition or simple-interest model.
New base or time period. After a first percentage change, write the new amount before applying another percentage. For interest, match annual rate with years; for GST, state that the supply is assumed fully taxable and whether the price is exclusive or inclusive.
Result with units. Simple interest reminder: principal × annual decimal rate × years. Fully taxable GST model reminder: 10% of exclusive price. Write a dollar result and distinguish interest or tax amount from total.
Claim boundary. State what was assumed and what was not modelled before editing the public sentence.

Footer caution: A rate for a year is not a rate for a month.

Tactile route: Use four numbered cards and distinct labelled BASE 1 and BASE 2 tokens; never identify them by texture alone. Lay rate and period tokens next to their exact base. A second percentage starts only after the learner replaces BASE 1 with BASE 2. Keep ASSUMED FULLY TAXABLE and UNKNOWN as spoken/Braille labels when using GST.
