Verbal Scripts

Arrays:
• “I see __ rows and __ columns.”
• “That is __ groups of __.”
• “So __ × __ = __.”

Equal groups:
• “I have __ groups.”
• “Each group has __.”
• “Total is __.”

Connection:
• “Repeated addition: __ + __ + __ = __.”
• “Commutative: __×__ = __×__.”

Autism-friendly tips

• Keep factors small and repeat patterns.
• Let Ania point to each row while counting.
• Use the same sentence frame every time.
• Celebrate effort, then “Reset” calmly.
