Worked example / Readable without the model

Keep the relationship in view.

Compare two quantities and explain which is greater. Offer pointing or arranging objects as alternatives to a written response.

Prepare for the exploration.

Begin with the stated example. Connect the controls to the representation and explanation; ask what changed and what stayed the same.

Use the representation thoughtfully.

The model is an explanatory aid. It does not assess a learner or establish that a teaching approach will suit every situation.

Connected to practice.

This fictional activity relates to the wider theme of participation in education. It is separate from participant material and from the model proposed in the doctoral thesis.
