Two optional 10–15 minute sessions, unpiloted; one session or a smaller separate job is fine.
A reusable paper/material kit and a whole-source instruction label naming the useful quantity, any leftover and a check.
Plain paper, a pencil or child-directed marks, safe large pieces and named places. A place can be a drawn box or spoken label. No food, real money, purchase, printer, account or device required. A helper moves only the piece/place the child chooses.
Seventeen whole display cards go equally between four pretend displays, as many whole cards per display as possible with leftovers aside. How many per display and how many remain?
Name 17 as the whole collection and 4 as the known number of recipients. Deal one display card to each recipient in a complete round, or make a different equal-allocation model the child can explain. After 4 complete rounds each recipient has 4 display cards; 1 whole display card remains aside. Check every recipient has the same amount and that every member of the original collection is in exactly one recipient place or the leftover place. The collection check is 4 + 4 + 4 + 4=16, then 16+1=17. The requested answer names an amount per recipient, not the total or number of recipients. Do not split a whole card or invent more members; another fairness arrangement would need a different agreed job.
Can a reader identify the whole source, requested quantity, equality/complete-size condition, any leftover and a valid whole-collection check? Record source exposure and assistance. No actual helper success is presumed.
Nineteen whole display cards go equally to four pretend displays, as many whole cards per display as possible. Keep shares equal and leftovers aside. How many per display and how many stay aside?
Keep the first guide. Read this entire separate job and let the child try before using its adult model. Make a separately named guide; compare the source, useful result unit and full check. Do not treat the changed collection as proof of unseen transfer.
Name 19 as the whole collection and 4 as the known number of recipients. Deal one display card to each recipient in a complete round, or make a different equal-allocation model the child can explain. After 4 complete rounds each recipient has 4 display cards; 3 whole display cards remain aside. Check every recipient has the same amount and that every member of the original collection is in exactly one recipient place or the leftover place. The collection check is 4 + 4 + 4 + 4=16, then 16+3=19. The requested answer names an amount per recipient, not the total or number of recipients. Do not split a whole card or invent more members; another fairness arrangement would need a different agreed job.
Let the child mix objects, a drawing, speech, signing, AAC, tactile marks or an exact directed helper. Read the whole source and allow processing time. Offer a quiet seated route and a pause. Record reading/motor access separately from hints that choose a mathematical step. These are choices, not fixed learning styles or neurotype assignments.
