# Staff-held learner tasks · first response before feedback

Do not include these exact arrangements/answers in ordinary prior examples. A teacher may read instructions without selecting a grouping, giving a count or choosing a rule. The actual preparation recipe and geometry are in the staff fresh alternatives/print source. No answer table occurs here. Both components may be completed in separate sittings; smaller actual range is recorded as partial.

## E · after Day 35 · A mixed-up paper order

These unlabelled marks stand for a new pretend order. Organise them into equal groups you choose. Check your groups, count all the objects once and show what your last number names. Large/tactile marks, selected numerals, sign/speech/AAC or an adult drawing/moving at your direction are available.

Then choose your own mark/symbol and make a short growing sequence whose next stage has **two more objects**. Show how a further stage would continue. You may choose a starting amount and layout; no particular shape, neat circle or handwriting is required. A repeating decoration is a different task.

Pause before help. Your teacher keeps the first thinking and the support given, then helps you check in a new example.

## F · after Day 40 · A picture kit and a skipped stage

These new unlabelled marks stand for a pretend picture kit. Choose twos, fives or tens, organise/check equal groups and count the complete collection once. Show what each group is worth and what your final count includes. A prediction is welcome; distinguish it from the grouping/count actually completed.

The next short account says **each successive stage adds one full group of ten objects**. Its three successive stage labels are **20,30,50**. Does the account follow that stated change? Find and repair the first break with a supported explanation. You may change a mistaken stage or explicitly show a stage that was missed and relabel its later position.

Finally create a different short own sequence with a stated increase of **2,5 or 10** objects. Choose a start/form and show how it continues. A viewer is optional. Pause before feedback; first attempt and later revision are different evidence.
