A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional publishing prototype ACT-59 is a twelve-page A4 original activity booklet: cover, eight activity pages, two answer/help pages and an adult-use note. Sample tasks are 'Draw three baskets; put two circles in each. How many circles altogether?' (6); 'Continue: triangle, square, triangle, square, __' (triangle); 'Find the different number:2,2,5,2' (5); and 'Draw a route from the gate to the tree without crossing the pond' using an original diagram to be commissioned. It is practice material, not a diagnosis or officially approved curriculum resource.
