n-later · Toy-city label order
Complete source (staff reference): Original fictional label numbers: 604, 640, 460. Chosen
amount to represent: 604. Two pretend card groups contain 46 and 28 cards. A separate
pretend project needs 82 labels and has 37 ready. These are supplied mathematical
quantities, not actual stock, price, creation or a child result. All quantities can be read
aloud; no object handling is required.
Question: Put 604, 640, 460 in numerical order. Show or direct a labelled number line and
explain one comparison.
Complete key and accepted variations: Order: 460 < 604 < 640. A labelled line with
relevant hundred reference points and consistent equal intervals can show this order; exact
pixel position is not a compulsory measurement. Explain comparison by hundreds then
tens/ones, not digit width.
Component criterion: Orders all numerals by magnitude, supports a comparison and uses a
meaningful labelled line.
Specific unrelated next teaching: If highest digit decides order, use unrelated192/219 with
named hundreds. If line positions unlabelled, make a new200→300 scale before another
placement.
Question: Show 604 using hundreds, tens and ones. Show a different valid partition and
explain the zero in its standard form.
Complete key and accepted variations: 604 = 6 hundreds0 tens4 ones = 5 hundreds10
tens4 ones. Check 600+0+4 = 500+100+4. Other nonnegative whole-unit partitions
summing604 accepted. Zero is no tens in standard form, not no total value.
Component criterion: Names standard places, keeps zero meaning and preserves value in a
distinct alternate partition.
Specific unrelated next teaching: If exchange changes value, use unrelated34:3 tens4
ones↔2 tens14 ones and recount. If zero removed, compare204/240; do not teach by
revealing this held amount.
Question: How many cards are in the two groups together? Show your chosen number
sentence and strategy. Check it.
Complete key and accepted variations: 46+28=74 cards. Example partition
40+20+6+8=74; regroup the ones where useful. Counted marks, bridge or another valid
own strategy accepted. Inverse check 74−28=46.
Component criterion: Chooses join/addition model and a valid conserved strategy/check,
with card meaning.
