Use paper, pencil, fraction strips of the same whole length, a 3-by-4 or 5-by-4 blank grid, large digit/factor cards and the three original A4 aids: operation/check mat, prime-factor tree and square/root link. Full text and tactile routes make every label and spatial relation available without sight or print. No colour code, real spending, device, account, food handling or personal-data collection is required.
For a fraction area, partition one rectangle in both directions, count overlap cells and keep the unit whole fixed. For decimal division, a spoken or tactile grouping sequence can replace a drawn line. For prime factors, large separate cards let the learner direct the splits; a complete prime-leaf list is equivalent to a drawn tree. For square roots, 12 equal large counters per side, a 12-by-12 tactile grid or a multiplication statement can carry the same reason. Avoid small loose counters when unsuitable for the group.
Keep the staff answers private. Seal Day15's 2/3+1/4, 7.2÷0.3 and 15%-of-80 values, and Day20's 108,196,75 values until each check. A read-aloud, magnified aid, screen reader, scribe or AAC supports access; giving a denominator, quotient, prime leaf or root is a content hint that must be recorded. Record mathematics separately from handwriting and oral delivery.
