Learner prompts

Aim and link: Adjust an oral/multimodal explanation for a specified audience; speak or select details in a clear order (AC9E3LY01, AC9E3LY07, AC9E3LY02). Prepare: planner, two audience cards: “classmate who saw the model” / “classmate who was absent”.

  1. Retrieve · 2 min. Ask which audience would need “a bundle is a group worth…” explained. Avoid treating one learner as less able.
  2. Model · 5 min. Give a deliberately rushed explanation without naming the starting quantity, then repeat in three labelled moves: starting card, equal-value exchange, unchanged total. Point to each part; use a calm, hearable pace. No recording is required.
  3. Guided word/text work · 6 min. Build print → reprint and sort → resort; in those contexts re- means again. Reread sentence “I reprint the label because it was unclear.” Check word meaning and the sentence's audience.
  4. Practice · 7 min. Children complete Day 19 A, B or C and prepare a 30–45 second explanation for a willing listener, teacher or private AAC/visual sequence. A listener asks one neutral question. Do not use actual pupil names or stock counts on a public recording.
  5. Explain/revise · 3 min. Ask which detail the absent reader needed and what was added. A clear answer can be spoken, signed, typed, pictured or selected with AAC. Record mode separately from content.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Learner chooses one revision to keep for final work. If an explanation merely repeats the number, ask for the equal-value exchange reason tomorrow.
