Learner prompts

Aim and link: Group related sentences into a simple explanation with a labelled example, a change and a check (AC9E3LA04, AC9E3LA09, AC9E3LY06). Prepare: Text E, cut-up teacher sentences, planner.

  1. Retrieve · 2 min. Point to a heading in Text E and ask what question that section answers.
  2. Model · 5 min. Put “The card says 24 306” with the opening idea, “We exchanged one ten-thousand for ten thousands” with the change, and “Both labels total 24 306” with the check. Show how a labelled drawing adds value only when its quantities agree with the words.
  3. Guided word/text work · 6 min. Say/segment label, bundle, value; check graphemes against local teaching. Sort two related sentences into one paragraph and move the check into a second paragraph. Read both orders aloud to hear the difference.
  4. Practice · 7 min. Children complete Day 18 A, B or C, making two short related groups by dictation, writing, symbols or typed text. A child may use a teacher-supplied true number model to keep the focus on explanation structure.
  5. Explain/revise · 3 min. Ask a peer/teacher to circle the sentence that says what stayed. If absent, add a precise line. If the drawing conflicts with the words, revise before publishing.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Learner marks where a new paragraph starts and says what changed in the topic, not “because it is longer.”
