$120 = $120; ask “What question does this equality answer?” - Model · 4 min. Point to A's “before any unlisted deductions or additions.” Teacher calculates two shifts only, then labels travel, duties and allocation as unknown rather than zero.
- Guided contrast · 5 min. Compare “The two model shifts pay the same stated amount” with “Both shifts are equally good.” Ask which is supported and why.
- Independent paragraph · 7 min. Learners write a 3–4 sentence explanation using one number, one phrase from A, one concern from B, and a limit. Spoken/AAC option preserves their exact wording.
- Listener challenge · 4 min. Partner asks “Where does that inference come from?” Writer either identifies a source line or narrows the sentence.
- Exit · 3 min. Key:
