Read the tasks as text

Picture descriptions for the tasks:
1. The room has one lamp on a table on the left and two chairs on the right. A basket stands on the floor to the left. A window shows stars. Under the picture: Lea says I saw a lamp. Mika says I saw two chairs. Draw lines or tell which things each child mentions.
2. The two answer choices you can see are: Yes. A room can have both a lamp and two chairs. No. They must mention exactly the same things.
3. Another evening, Ida and Teo came in together. Two new notes: Ida says Two lamps shone as we came in. Teo says Three lamps shone as we came in. Under Ida’s text are two lamp signs; under Teo’s are three. Find the number word on each note. Answer choices: How many lamps were lit. What colour the lamps were.
4. A big empty drawing frame with decorations in the corners.

Look closely at the number
Another evening, Ida and Teo came in together. Circle the number word on each note.
IDA
“Two lamps shone as we came in.”
TEO
“Three lamps shone as we came in.”
What do they say differently? Put one cross.
How many lamps were lit.
What colour the lamps were.
We must ask more before we pick a number. Different numbers alone do not show who remembers correctly.

Make a room to discover
Draw three things in your room. Leave space between them. Decorate the frame if you like.
5
Two explorers
Look at the drawing with a friend. Choose one thing each. Say what you see without saying its name.
Let the other person point. Swap roles. The picture can stay out the whole time.
