C02 · A menu nearer the reader
Complete source: Original fiction. A pretend café menu is broad paper on a flat mat. An adult’s hand gently pulls its near edge toward the hand and a drawn reading place. It moves nearer that place, then rests. Another menu at the same original start is gently pushed from its far edge toward the same reading place and also rests nearer it. Strength and whole travelled paths are not measured. No food, drink or real café activity occurs.
Own invitation: What distinguishes the two actions when both finishes are nearer the reading place?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Pull toward the contacting hand and push away from the hand at the far edge are different contact actions. The shared direction toward a landmark does not itself identify push or pull. No strength/distance ranking follows from “nearer”.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C03’s two star-bound moves with contact words kept beside the hand marks. Invite the child to explain one action and point/direct its contact side; observe whether the source action, rather than destination alone, supports the label.
