Your teacher may read the words. You may use a counter, paper place cards, a drawing, speech, typing, AAC or a person who moves pieces exactly as you direct. Show enough of your reasoning for someone else to check it. These are new maps and numbers. The adult records any help they give.
Day 15 · Unseen makers' fair
Map B is a made-up fair seen from above. Hold the title at top. Columns A–E go left to right; rows 1–5 top to bottom. Named cells are landmarks; open means an unlabelled space. “Directly” means one adjacent cell away. You may use the A4 Map B sheet or its complete text/tactile version if it helps you see or mark the positions.
| Row ↓ / Column → | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | open | welcome | open | water | open |
| 2 | quiet area | open | demo | open | help |
| 3 | open | book stall | open | art table | open |
| 4 | recycling | open | rest | open | garden |
| 5 | open | exit | open | storage | open |
- Interpret: What is the full cell label for demo? Show how the row and column meet.
- Relate: Describe where art table is relative to book stall. Are they directly next to each other? Explain.
- Create: On a new 3 × 3 grid labelled A–C and 1–3, place rest in centre, water directly above rest, and art directly right of rest. Draw/place the labels and make a key another person can read.
- Repair: A note says, “Quiet area A2 is right of demo C2.” Test the note against Map B. Keep the first note visible and write a correct relation, naming the same reference place.
Day 20 · Unseen stock and calculation
TT is ten-thousands, Th thousands, H hundreds, T tens and O ones. A place with zero groups still keeps its place in the usual numeral. Use cards or a drawing if helpful.
- Represent: A fictional stock card reads 41 205. Read it and show each of its five usual place groups, including the zero place.
- Rename: Open one ten-thousand in 41 205 into thousands. Record the new grouping and an addition sentence to prove the total stayed 41 205.
- Order: Which is greater, 41 205 or 41 250? Name the first place where the digits differ.
- Regroup and check: A fictional display had 624 blank cards and used 187. How many remain? Show a place-value exchange or a count-up path, name the unit, and check with addition.
Before handing in, you may trace every map relation or count each group again. A different answer from a neighbour is a reason to check your own model, not a reason to copy theirs.
