Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Access

Show, draw, type, sign, use your usual communication or direct an agreeing helper. Choose quiet/private work, switch a route, pause, pass or finish. One useful part is enough. A helper can read the exact words or scribe your choices; supplying an operation, count, regrouping or reason is mathematical help and is named. No speed, neatness, speech, handling or device requirement.

Adult model

675+148=823; 823−236=587 labels left. Check 587+236=823 and 823−148=675. A plan to use 236 is a model condition; only an actual authorised observation could establish real use.

Child direction

Choose a small planning problem you care about: a game, a collection, a pretend budget or a number puzzle. Make one note useful to someone else. Pick one route. Show what the numbers mean, try a way, then check one result. You can stop after a useful part.

Common tangle

the plan lacks given counts; check the roles and equivalent quantities, rather than memorising a printed answer.

Day

60

Different guided practice

Guide a different fictional game: 508 cards, 176 arrive, 245 used; 684−245=439 left. Ask the learner to select addition then subtraction from roles, not follow a hiddenpreset. Receive one useful step if the whole chain is too much.

Check and teach the entry relationship

Review actual work. If partitioning, unknown roles or comparison remain unclear, choose that teaching instead of an open project. For a new problem teach identifying given counts/unit/wanted quantity with small 12+8=20 first.

Hook

Choose a small planning problem you care about: a game, a collection, a pretend budget or a number puzzle. Make one note useful to someone else.

Materials

Broad paper, labelled place-value/part-whole/number-line alternatives as suitable; optional familiar safe counters; usual communication. No hundreds of loose marks, purchases or physical handling required. Keep adult model and own work separate.

Next ordinary teaching

If the plan lacks given counts, offer empty start/change/question headings and neutral scribing. Teach one missing relationship using fictional 35 plus 18 then 12 used=41. Invite a new own small problem later.

Complete fictional source

Adult example: a fictional making station has 675 labels, receives 148 more and uses 236. How many remain? No real making or stock count is claimed.

One own invitation

Choose one result from your own problem. What does it count and what check supports it?

Partial curriculum opportunity

  1. AC9M4N08 additive partial

  2. AC9M4N06

  3. AC9M4A01 optional

Purpose

Formulate a complete additive situation, solve and check it for a reader.

Routes

Access

Show, draw, type, sign, use your usual communication or direct an agreeing helper. Choose quiet/private work, switch a route, pause, pass or finish. One useful part is enough. A helper can read the exact words or scribe your choices; supplying an operation, count, regrouping or reason is mathematical help and is named. No speed, neatness, speech, handling or device requirement.

Complete task

Choose imaginary starting cards 20–60, an arrival 10–30 and use 0–20. State all values and find cards left.

Session stages

Instruction

Choose a small planning problem you care about: a game, a collection, a pretend budget or a number puzzle. Make one note useful to someone else. Read the source. Ask what the numbers count and the wanted quantity. Review actual work. If partitioning, unknown roles or comparison remain unclear, choose that teaching instead of an open project. For a new problem teach identifying given counts/unit/wanted quantity with small 12+8=20 first.

Instruction

675+148=823; 823−236=587 labels left. Check 587+236=823 and 823−148=675. A plan to use 236 is a model condition; only an actual authorised observation could establish real use. Show on separate adult paper. Pause after one transformation; invite explanation before showing the next.

Teach one relationship

Instruction

Guide a different fictional game: 508 cards, 176 arrive, 245 used; 684−245=439 left. Ask the learner to select addition then subtraction from roles, not follow a hiddenpreset. Receive one useful step if the whole chain is too much. Offer one complete route below, not all three as a quota. Let the learner select a representation and pause or switch.

Instruction

Choose one result from your own problem. What does it count and what check supports it? Receive an available response before staff key. If the plan lacks given counts, offer empty start/change/question headings and neutral scribing. Teach one missing relationship using fictional 35 plus 18 then 12 used=41. Invite a new own small problem later.

What to look for

Available own formulation, strategy, result, units and check agree; unsupported or unfinished steps remain visible.

After own work: staff possibility

No prescribed own numbers. Fixed routes below have separate staff possibilities. Check against the learner actual stated conditions; do not fill missing choices from adult work.

Status

Proposed 35-minute shape, unpiloted and freely reorderable; resource day not school calendar requirement.
