Day45 · Keep the reports together

Child job

Make a tiny record table a reader can trust.

Day

45

Guided different try

C10 fictional aquarium puppet log has two repeats by the same helper: paper/rub—“soft”, paper/rub—“soft”. Possible: “Both supplied reports used soft. These two notes do not promise every rub will sound the same.”

Held offer

No held offer; use practice organiser only.

Home

HomeH05: organise three everyday story cards into source/action/note rows. One card deliberately has “not recorded”. Your child can use drawings and move counters. Ask what the counters count; no survey of neighbours is needed.

Lesson minutes

30–40 optional; split moves over smaller sessions as needed. Days are resource sequence slots, not required daily Science attendance.

Next teaching

If missing means zero, use an unrelated seed-packet story: two packets have counted seeds, third is unopened. Ask whether unopened means empty, then return to the missing sound report.

Observe

Observe row pairing, represented-count meaning and unknown treatment. Record whether child authored/selected/dictated the organiser; do not equate neatness with science.

Ordinary model

C09 fictional makers-fair log: tray/tap—“short soft”, paper/rub—“scratchy”, lid/tap—no sound report supplied. Possible table has three rows and an unknown label on the third; two described reports and one unrecorded report, not “two sounding objects and one silent object”.

Project

ProjectX05: make an evidence mini-museum with three labelled report rows and a question pocket for missing information. A visitor tries to find a full source for one row. Keep all notes visibly supplied or actual.

Read aloud

R05: “A table can keep our clues together. Object, action, note. Check the full note before you move a card. An empty report is a gap, not proof of silence. Our counters count notes. They do not measure how loud a sound was. What should a reader ask about the gap?”

Routes

A

Same descriptor/repeat count does not measure sound intensity or prove a universal pattern.

Own note keeper

Two real event records and a defensible organiser.

Agree one permitted action if desired, predict then run at most two gentle repeats with stop choice. Record every actual event separately including unsure/no report. Sort own rows by action or evidence kind and count rows; explain exact meaning of each count.

B

Fictional note counts are not current class results.

Quiet makers-fair archivist

Faithful supplied table with a limited pattern.

Read allC09/C10. Choose one collection at a time; build a table with blank own row. Pair exact labels and keep unknowns. Check each row against its full source before making a bounded pattern sentence.

C

Physical tokens represent records, not actual sound waves or decibels.

Walk the record path

A concrete data model with corrected source pairing.

Place large object/action/report cards on the floor/table. Use one token per recorded event, including an unknown report row; helper moves tokens if preferred. Child selects a rule, then undoes one placement by checking source. Draw the organiser or dictate a caption.

Six moves

• Hook3min: intentionally place a note beside the wrong object label, then ask reader what would go wrong.
• Read5min: allC09 records, including unknowns; child finds their source/action pair.
• Teach5min: sorting is a chosen rule. A report count is a count of records. Keep “not recorded” out of a false “no sound exists” total.
• Model5min: put three supplied rows in a table, then count exact represented rows with tokens.
• Try12min: choose own event recorder, quiet table maker or floor-token organiser. Each has one explicit rule and a check against full records.
• Exit4min: reader reconstructs a row. Invite a new question, not a performance mark. No held assessment required today.

Teacher preparation

Prepare C09–10,V05,W05. Supplied notes clearly say fictional and have no local dates. Real route reuses approved quiet procedure chosen earlier, not new louder sounds. Provide counters/picture tokens for represented reports, never loudness units. Counts describe recorded notes, not sound energy.
