The six original pages use numbered boxes and high-contrast dark words on white. All meaning and order is stated below; no answer depends on colour, an arrow or exact spatial vision. Each page can be read by screen reader, neutral adult, sign/AAC, large print or a learner-directed scribe. For tactile use, write each numbered heading and its lines on a separate large card, arrange 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 in a line and let the learner move a source phrase/token beside a card. A neutral reader gives the words but not which conclusion to choose. SVG has a title and description; PDF text is selectable. These are paper scaffolds, not real measurements or approvals.

Science inquiry mat · SVG

Top: “Use the labels in order; each box can be read alone. Point, write, direct a partner or speak/AAC your choice.”

  1. MODEL / SOURCE: “What was drawn, stated or observed? Label invented values and the system boundary.”
  2. CLAIM: “Write the exact claim before deciding. Does it report, predict or generalise?”
  3. TEST / CONTRAST: “What variable, control or comparison matters? Keep an anomaly visible until checked.”
  4. LIMIT / NEXT STEP: “Name what the source cannot establish. Choose one repeat or measurement to seek.”

HASS source and choice grid · SVG

Same numbered-card orientation.

  1. ORIGIN + STATUS: “Who made this, when and why? Simulation is not an archive or real tally.”
  2. EXACT DETAIL: “Copy a number or a short source phrase. Check units and who is represented.”
  3. SECOND CRITERION: “Compare access, evidence, cost or viewpoint. A quick answer may omit a group or condition.”
  4. BOUNDED DECISION: “Say what follows from the supplied detail. Name one source you still need.”

HPE choice and participation · SVG

Same numbered-card orientation. Cards may be read privately; no personal experience needs sharing.

  1. OFFER CHOICE: “Ask which role or route works for the person. Do not assign a fixed ability label.”
  2. ASK + HEAR NO: “Use a specific request before touch or sharing. Accept refusal; choose a waiting/other route.”
  3. TRY OR DIRECT: “Use safe movement only with local approval. Record who actually moved or performed.”
  4. CHECK FAIRNESS: “What did each willing person get to do? A paper plan is not observed participation.”

Technology decision mat · SVG

Same numbered-card orientation.

  1. USER + PURPOSE: “What does the imaginary user need? Which data are actually required?”
  2. RULE / CRITERIA: “Write a condition that can be tested. Include a counterexample or edge case.”
  3. TEST + RECORD: “What did the paper/code model output? Separate observed from predicted output.”
  4. REVISE + LIMIT: “Change one design factor and test again. Paper success is not real-world approval.”

Arts process page · SVG

Same numbered-card orientation. “Performance” and “presentation” are marked only if observed.

  1. INTENTION: “What might an audience notice or infer? Name the fictional source or original idea.”
  2. ELEMENT CHOICE: “Choose pause, line, crop, sound or focus. Describe its position in words.”
  3. MAKE / REHEARSE: “Record the actual work, not only a plan. Performance is marked only if observed.”
  4. FEEDBACK / EDIT: “Quote one specific observation or prompt. Show the changed line, count or frame.”

Eight-count music score · SVG

Top: “Eight equal boxes. A rest is a deliberate silence. One box = one count; read left to right.” First row, in order: 1 TAP, 2 REST, 3 TAP, 4 TAP, 5 REST, 6 TAP, 7 REST, 8 TAP. The same linear original score is TAP / REST / TAP / TAP / REST / TAP / REST / TAP. Below it are two blank eight-box rows, labelled Layer 1 and Layer 2, for a learner's own score. Final box asks: “Which boxes rest? Where does layer 2 enter? Was sound actually made or only planned?” A tactile version uses two parallel rows of eight numbered spaces. A raised dot/token means tap; an empty but labelled REST token means intentional silence. A second layer can begin at any chosen count; Day18 practice tries box 5. No audio playback or performance is required to read or compose.
