# Map-sign quantities

## Id

N12

## Original component

C-first-Q4

## Target criterion

Rejects equal value from matching digit sets: 304 and 340 assign tens/ones different values and are unequal.

## New job title

Map-sign quantities

## Source

Fictional label quantities: Map-sign quantities. First card: 704 labels. Second card: 740 labels. Third card: 407 labels. All three count the same kind of label; these are supplied counts, not actual stock or money. A helper says: “704 and 740 have the same value because both use three digits.” Use the whole values to represent, compare or order them. Own responses remain open.

### Source

Fictional label quantities: Map-sign quantities. First card: 704 labels. Second card: 740 labels. Third card: 407 labels. All three count the same kind of label; these are supplied counts, not actual stock or money. A helper says: “704 and 740 have the same value because both use three digits.” Use the whole values to represent, compare or order them. Own responses remain open.

### Values

- 704

- 740

- 407

### Alternative first parts

Not supplied.

### Claim

704 and 740 have the same value because both use three digits.

### Models

- 704 = 7 hundreds + 0 tens + 4 ones = 700 + 0 + 4.

- 740 = 7 hundreds + 4 tens + 0 ones = 700 + 40 + 0.

- 407 = 4 hundreds + 0 tens + 7 ones = 400 + 0 + 7.

### Ordered

- 407

- 704

- 740

## Invitation

Check the actual supplied helper statement using whole place values; explain why that shortcut is or is not valid.

## Teacher moves

Read the actual helper claim in Map-sign quantities. Build the complete place values before deciding. Contrast digit length with whole numerical value; show which place differs and why the two actual quantities are unequal. Do not reward agreement with a teacher without the checking evidence.

## Worked possible response

Three-digit length alone does not establish equal quantity: 704 = 7 hundreds + 0 tens + 4 ones = 700 + 0 + 4. 740 = 7 hundreds + 4 tens + 0 ones = 700 + 40 + 0.

## Guided source

Fictional label quantities: Map-sign quantities—new guided cards. First card: 603 labels. Second card: 630 labels. Third card: 306 labels. All three count the same kind of label; these are supplied counts, not actual stock or money. A helper says: “603 and 630 have the same value because both use three digits.” Use the whole values to represent, compare or order them. Own responses remain open.

### Values

- 603

- 630

- 306

### Alternative first parts

Not supplied.

### Claim

603 and 630 have the same value because both use three digits.

### Models

- 603 = 6 hundreds + 0 tens + 3 ones = 600 + 0 + 3.

- 630 = 6 hundreds + 3 tens + 0 ones = 600 + 30 + 0.

- 306 = 3 hundreds + 0 tens + 6 ones = 300 + 0 + 6.

### Ordered

- 306

- 603

- 630

## Guided invitation

Check the actual supplied helper statement using whole place values; explain why that shortcut is or is not valid.

## Guided staff possible response

Three-digit length alone does not establish equal quantity: 603 = 6 hundreds + 0 tens + 3 ones = 600 + 0 + 3. 630 = 6 hundreds + 3 tens + 0 ones = 600 + 30 + 0.

## Receive own steps

- Read/hear the whole new source and name the actual requested job.

- Receive the learner’s own idea in their usual communication before the staff response.

- Teach the precise relationship using the separate complete model; name mathematical hints.

- Deliver the complete different guided source and invitation. Receive a fresh response before its staff possibility.

## Review criterion

Addresses the exact supplied helper statement with complete relevant place values and a supported conclusion.

## Observe and next

Record the exact relationship available in the response and the help, leaving absent evidence open. If it is missing, repeat that same relationship on a smaller complete source. If secure, change the scene/quantity or representation explicitly; do not infer annual mastery.

## Access

Point, speak, sign, AAC, tactile labels, large marks or exact child-directed scribing/moving. No speed, handwriting, robot, printing or public sharing criterion.

## Transfer limit

Different supplied complete new and guided contexts; no remembered original held source or real learner improvement is claimed.
