Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Partition a rectangle into equal squares and count by rows.
Comfort with the particular task and communication mode; optional oral/scribed work is recorded separately.
Check the learner can access these words/materials and prerequisite ideas; historical authorship is not readiness or mastery. If not, demonstrate briefly or revisit the named prerequisite.
Use the supplied rectangle frames. Screen work may use imagined or finger-traced divisions; paper provides evidence of drawn partitioning. No printer: view only the active learner card on screen, or an adult copies its exact prompts onto plain paper without answers. Oral pointing/dictation is an access option; record it as adapted/supported and do not claim handwriting from it. Keep adult keys/scripts separate; supply only the current stage.
Use fictional cases and invented identifiers; never record personal conflicts, health, bank details or family spending. Adult prompts/keys are private companion files, never learner links.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Three rectangular grids only; unit labels are abstract, not physical centimetres unless measured.
Use fictional cases and invented identifiers; never record personal conflicts, health, bank details or family spending. Adult prompts/keys are private companion files, never learner links.

Check understanding
- Divide a rectangle into equal rows and columns of unit squares
- Count the total number of squares using repeated addition or skip counting
- Relate the rows-and-columns structure to a rectangular array
“Can your child draw lines to divide a rectangle into a neat grid of equal squares, then count all the squares to find the total?”
