Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Track the same pieces through disassembly and a new arrangement.
Can attend to a short explanation and respond orally, by pointing, drawing or writing; check relevant prerequisite understanding rather than assuming age proves readiness.
Check readiness rather than assuming age or source graph order establishes attainment.
Prepared passage, diagram materials are available in each step.
Open the teaching material first. Keep the adult key and check sheet separate until their named stage. No printing, purchase or external media is required for the supplied adapted text tasks.
Optional large age-appropriate blocks only; no small choking parts or disassembly of appliances.
Only record a real observation after the activity is actually carried out safely; otherwise mark not carried out.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
What this lesson covers and its limits
These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.
- partial: Observe that an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object, understanding that the pieces still exist
Bounded task opportunity only; this task samples the clause using fresh evidence, not full coverage or learner attainment.
- partial: Explain that taking apart an object and rebuilding it uses the same pieces in a new arrangement
Bounded task opportunity only; this task samples the clause using fresh evidence, not full coverage or learner attainment.
- partial: Describe how the pieces themselves don't change even though the object looks different
Bounded task opportunity only; this task samples the clause using fresh evidence, not full coverage or learner attainment.
- partial: Give an everyday example of reusing materials to make something new
Bounded task opportunity only; this task samples the clause using fresh evidence, not full coverage or learner attainment.
- partial: If {{name}} builds a tower with building bricks and then takes it apart to build a car, can they explain that the same bricks are used but arranged differently?
