Ten 35-minute Australian-first inquiry sessions fill the Year 6 map's Week 3 source comparison and Week 4 responsible recommendation briefs. They accompany the separately authored English and mathematics lessons. The original fictional Table Signs case lets a learner compare a poster, recorder sheet, selected comments and a draft; use factors to plan a small retest; distinguish a proposed from an observed science result; and compare same-whole fractions before writing a cautious manager recommendation. Ten sessions are not a full school timetable, full subject allocation or whole-year curriculum.

Run a session

  1. Prepare the ten teacher scripts and fictional A–E source packet. Choose the day's 35-minute block and check local policy for paper testing, equipment, access and safeguarding. No real people or public signs are involved.
  2. Give the clean learner card. Each day has three genuine access/output routes, an alternative everyday-life context and an optional no-cost home prompt. A learner can switch route. Do not assign a fixed “learning style” or infer a diagnosis.
  3. Use the original print and access aids. Keep staff answers and response moves out of learner view. On Days 15 and 20 give only the appropriate new-case check, collect the first independent response, and record access separately from content hints.
  4. Review exact official content-description rows and taught limits, source/rights ledger and desk run-through when adapting. Run the local verifier after edits and update the hash manifest.

The five original one-page A4 vector aids each have an SVG, PDF and complete plain-text/tactile alternative: fictional source poster, source audit, factor array and same-whole line, repeatable test record and recommendation canvas. All use selectable text. Enlarging, reflowing text, tactile counters, sign/AAC, exact-word scribing and quiet response are valid access options; note whether the specific curriculum action was observed.

What the evidence can say

The source data are explicitly invented. A poster and tally from the same team are not independent evidence. A student paper protocol does not prove a science investigation happened; a drawing does not prove a physical sign stood; an art plan is not a completed artwork. The source packet does not show real durability, universal readability, sustainability or outdoor use. Check A/B are original formative probes, not validated tests. These lessons were desk-simulated, rendered and mechanically checked; there is no classroom trial, outcome study, user accessibility test, local-syllabus sign-off or translation certification. The school still needs to check jurisdictional sequence and its learners' needs.
