Labels (post on the board)

1. ALL STRANDS - shared launch only.
2. 30-1 REQUIRED - MAT3791 tray; mastery evidence for 30-1 SOs listed below.
3. 30-2 REQUIRED - MAT3792 tray; mastery evidence for 30-2 SOs listed below.
4. 30-3 REQUIRED - MAT3793 tray; mastery evidence for 30-3 SOs listed below.
5. CROSS-STRAND EXPOSURE ≠ mastery - hearing another tray is logged as EXPOSURE, never as an SO tick, never as a silent enrolment change.

ALL STRANDS launch (~10-14 min)

If the enterprise needs a vehicle, 30-3 compares options with numbers. 30-1 still analyses y=R(x).

Clock ~75 min unless the school uses 60; cut the workshop block first, never the strand exit ticket. Class C parallel workshops are the default when one strand is on exclusive work.

Official outcomes (REQUIRED on home strand)

Strand	Official ID	Role today
30-1	MATH30-1-TRIGONOM-14-020	REQUIRED - Graph and analyze rational functions (limited to numerators and denominators that are monomials, binomials or trinomials)
30-2	MATH30-2-LOGICALR-03-011	REQUIRED - Solve problems that involve rational equations (limited to numerators and denominators that are monomials and binomials)
30-3	MATH30-3-X-02-006	REQUIRED - Solve problems that involve the acquisition of a vehicle by: • buying • leasing • leasing to buy

30-1 workshop - 30-1 REQUIRED

Clock: ~22-28 min after launch (cut workshop before cutting the strand exit ticket). Learners on this tray stay on 30-1.

MATH30-1-TRIGONOM-14-020

Official text: Graph and analyze rational functions (limited to numerators and denominators that are monomials, binomials or trinomials)

Worked example (unique to this hour, this strand, this SO): Analyse y=(x²−9)/(x−3). Factor; identify the hole at x=3 vs any vertical asymptote. State horizontal behaviour and sketch with the hole marked, not as a VA.

Level	Prompt (inside the home strand)
FOUNDATION	Vertical asymptote of 1/x.
CORE	Hole vs VA on a cancelled factor.
PROFICIENT	Horizontal behaviour.
ADVANCED	Full analysis of a proper/improper rational.

Diagram: Timing: after retrieval, before independent practice. Do not open the diagram during the first retrieval prompt. Rational graph with holes vs vertical asymptotes labelled.

Independent practice: a new instance of today’s SO(s) with different numbers than the worked example. Two sentences on reasonableness.

Wrong-answer repair (do not praise):

• 30-1 SO 020: Labelling a hole as a vertical asymptote after cancelling. Repair: name the first wrong line, replace it, and re-complete the CORE tray item. Do not praise the wrong line.

30-2 workshop - 30-2 REQUIRED

Clock: ~22-28 min after launch (cut workshop before cutting the strand exit ticket). Learners on this tray stay on 30-2.

MATH30-2-LOGICALR-03-011

Official text: Solve problems that involve rational equations (limited to numerators and denominators that are monomials and binomials)

Worked example (unique to this hour, this strand, this SO): Solve 3/x + 7/(x+2) = 9/(x(x+2)) with x≠0, x≠−2. Check for extraneous roots. Context option: two work rates filling a tank.

Level	Prompt (inside the home strand)
FOUNDATION	Clear a single-term rational equation.
CORE	Binomial denominators + check.
PROFICIENT	Work-rate context.
ADVANCED	Explain an extraneous root.

Diagram: Timing: after retrieval, before independent practice. Do not open the diagram during the first retrieval prompt. Rate table that becomes a rational equation; restrictions boxed.

Independent practice: a new instance of today’s SO(s) with different numbers than the worked example. Two sentences on reasonableness.

Wrong-answer repair (do not praise):

• 30-2 SO 011: Clearing denominators then keeping a restricted x as a root. Repair: name the first wrong line, replace it, and re-complete the CORE tray item. Do not praise the wrong line.

30-3 workshop - 30-3 REQUIRED

Clock: ~22-28 min after launch (cut workshop before cutting the strand exit ticket). Learners on this tray stay on 30-3.

MATH30-3-X-02-006

Official text: Solve problems that involve the acquisition of a vehicle by: • buying • leasing • leasing to buy

Worked example (unique to this hour, this strand, this SO): Vehicle price $22500. Buy: tax 5% + $310 fees. Lease: $310/month for 60 months + $1090 due at signing, residual $5450. Lease-to-buy: add a stated buyout. Compare total cost vs monthly cash flow. Table after retrieval.

Level	Prompt (inside the home strand)
FOUNDATION	Define buy / lease / lease-to-buy.
CORE	Total cost vs monthly.
PROFICIENT	Choose with a cash-flow condition.
ADVANCED	Interest/residual sensitivity.

Diagram: Timing: after retrieval, before independent practice. Do not open the diagram during the first retrieval prompt. Vehicle comparison table VIS-M30B-VEH (buy / lease / lease-to-buy).

Independent practice: a new instance of today’s SO(s) with different numbers than the worked example. Two sentences on reasonableness.

Wrong-answer repair (do not praise):

• 30-3 SO 006: Comparing monthly payment only, ignoring down payment, residual, or term length. Repair: name the first wrong line, replace it, and re-complete the CORE tray item. Do not praise the wrong line.

CROSS-STRAND EXPOSURE ≠ mastery

• CROSS-STRAND EXPOSURE ≠ mastery. Log D items. Do not tick another strand’s SO.
• AI Tutor must not treat an exposure card as proficiency.

Project or clean math

Project (Sustainable Community Water & Hygiene) - genuine math only: 30-3: site layout, vehicle if the enterprise needs one, ledger, linear fill-rate, or measurement of volume/chlorine - matching today’s SO.

AI Tutor

• Load the authorized home strand only: MAT3791 (Mathematics 30-1) or MAT3792 (Mathematics 30-2) or MAT3793 (Mathematics 30-3) from the authorized profile.
• Never silent-switch a struggling 30-1 learner into 30-2/30-3 banks (or the reverse) to “make it easier.”
• Serve today’s home-strand SOs. Exposure cards are read-only.
• Never dump diploma keys or released exam wording. Original items only.
• Wrong answers: name the error and repair; do not praise.

Human-tutor handoff

Call a human tutor when: the learner cannot complete CORE after two documented repairs; an identity proof (30-1 006) is stuck after the identity map; a 30-2 017 source is unsafe or empty; a 30-3 vehicle/business number is being faked to match a hoped-for answer; distress, disclosure, or a request to change official enrolment. Enrolment changes are an office/PASI process, not a tutor action.

Diagram / whiteboard

Approved starter math30-quadratic-shift. Strand workshops may add axes/tables. Never praise a translated parabola as a circle.

Strand exit ticket (~8-12 min)

Collect only the home-strand row. Exposure ≠ mastery. Lesson MATH30B-L029.

Home strand	Primary SO	Exit ticket (unique to this lesson)
30-1	MATH30-1-TRIGONOM-14-020	CORE exit: Analyse y=(x²−9)/(x−3). Factor; identify the hole at x=3 vs any vertical asymptote. State horizontal behaviour and sketch with the hole marked, not as a VA. FOUNDATION alternate: Vertical asymptote of 1/x. Do not submit another strand’s ticket as 30-1 mastery.
30-2	MATH30-2-LOGICALR-03-011	CORE exit: Solve 3/x + 7/(x+2) = 9/(x(x+2)) with x≠0, x≠−2. Check for extraneous roots. Context option: two work rates filling a tank. FOUNDATION alternate: Clear a single-term rational equation. Do not submit another strand’s ticket as 30-2 mastery.
30-3	MATH30-3-X-02-006	CORE exit: Vehicle price $22500. Buy: tax 5% + $310 fees. Lease: $310/month for 60 months + $1090 due at signing, residual $5450. Lease-to-buy: add a stated buyout. Compare total cost vs monthly cash flow. Table after retrieval. FOUNDATION alternate: Define buy / lease / lease-to-buy. Do not submit another strand’s ticket as 30-3 mastery.
