Learner prompts

Question: Which statements follow from the closing sheet? Kit: B and C; 24 counters optional. 35 = 3 + 7 + 12 + 8 + 5.

  1. 0–3: Recap that B is the recorder's sheet, not an independent test. Point to its three categories.
  2. 3–10: Model 12 + 6 + 6 = 24, then distinguish “12 upright unchanged” from “18 upright with or without adjustment”. Ask whether a selected comment can establish what all viewers felt. No.
  3. 10–22: Learners copy B's numbers into a three-row table and label the denominator 24 signs tried. Match C1/C2 to possible design questions, not outcome counts. Check that no category overlaps at closing.
  4. 22–30: Compare three candidate sentences: “18 upright at closing”; “18 never tipped”; “all viewers found them clear”. Keep only the first, with source attribution and adjustment note. Routes: counters in 12/6/6 groups; accessible text table with calculator; oral/AAC card-sort of supported / not supported / unknown with exact source wording.
  5. 30–35: “How many were not upright at closing? What do the two selected slips tell us?” Key: 6; the slips suggest questions, not prevalence. Response move: when a learner uses 18/18 or 12/18, return to the total tried cell and mark numerator/denominator.

Another domain: Treat categories as fictional costume tags or game-card stands; do not recast the slips as real learners. Home: make a three-category invented tally using 24 marks and check the total.
