These fictional cases are new relative to the ten lesson source pairs. This page and its teacher-targeted worked key are publicly accessible, so these are not secure exams or QCAA instruments. A teacher should make a genuinely new local parallel if prior access matters. Use each after its named lesson or in another approved slot: 2 minutes source orientation, 8 minutes independent first response, 3 minutes for one limit. Allow locally agreed access support and additional composition time; save the initial response before feedback. Log whether support supplied source access, a numerical hint or an answer. No real child, family, pay, investment or financial data is requested.
Check A · Day 25 · Paper weather-vane cards
Public catalogue caption: A fictional Weather Play editor writes to adult makers, “Our $60 card set has a 25% mark-up, so exactly a quarter of each sale comes back to the project. The picture proves how it pays.” The imagined picture shows only a fan of finished paper cards; no actual photograph or sale exists.
Desk note: One invented set has $45 stated production cost and $60 stated sale price. Other expenses, tax and allocation of the price gap are unknown. Mark-up uses the cost base; gross price margin uses the sale-price base.
Task: Name maker/audience and one word or picture choice that enlarges the claim. Find the dollar gap, mark-up percentage on cost and gross price margin percentage on sale price. Revise the caption to state what is known and what the image cannot prove. Choose one equivalent route: A marked catalogue and two equations; B labelled cost/sale bars plus dictated correction; C private oral/AAC editor note with both denominator labels and a scribed calculation.
Check B · Day 30 · Nookline's one-panel number
Public explainer: Fictional Nookline Papers tells imaginary readers, “A P/E of 10 pays 10% cash each year. The big 10 in our panel guarantees it.” The panel's visual makes a ratio look like a percentage; no real company, offer or graphic is supplied.
Desk note: One invented share has $25 model price, $2.50 annual earnings per share and a stipulated one-year dividend of $0.50 per share. No later dividend, fees, share-price change or investment suitability is known. Use P/E = price ÷ earnings per share; dividend yield = dividend per share ÷ price ×100% for this one-year model.
Task: Name maker/audience and how the single big 10 positions the reader. Calculate the ratio and one-year yield with units, then correct the explainer without promising future cash. Choose one equivalent route: A two-panel annotation; B labelled PRICE/EARNINGS/DIVIDEND cards; C private spoken/AAC correction with scribed equations. No one should buy, research or recommend a real share.
Evidence boundary: Two short, publicly available source cards cannot establish a school unit result, independent reading from a read-aloud, QCAA assessment conditions or real-world financial understanding. Use the school-approved record route for any actual learner response.
