Learner choices

Goal: compute Card N1's total annual dividend model and per-share yield with correctly named bases. 25 = 2 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 5.

  1. 0–2: Distinguish annual dividend per share, number of shares and price per share in the invented Paperbird case.
  2. 2–7: Model 50×$0.84=$42 annual dividend dollars; yield $0.84÷$24×100=3.5%. The 50-share count affects total dollars, not yield percentage per share.
  3. 7–13: Learners use 50×$24=$1,200 fictional portfolio price and check $42÷$1,200×100=3.5%. Say why this is an arithmetic equivalence, not a future return guarantee.
  4. 13–20: Routes: group 50 share tokens and one per-share dividend strip on the share measures aid; complete dollars-versus-percent boxes; write/voice per-share and portfolio fractions. All routes name the annual assumption and no investment conclusion.
  5. 20–25: Exit “Why not divide $42 by $24 for yield?” Key: that mixes portfolio dividend with one-share price. Move: align numerator and denominator to one share or the full 50-share portfolio.

Alternative domains: invented co-op simulation or fictional textbook publisher. Optional/home: calculate an imagined 10 shares × $0.20 annual dividend; no actual share research. Two optional swaps.
