Topic 17 "Measuring tools" — your next read (29 September 2026)

Your Matter review of this morning is applied: every reading item now draws its instrument and the marks vary; the bad thermometer MCQ is gone; the orange sits beside the apple; the water's curve is shown once; the invented misconceptions are deleted; no typed item asks for something already in view. Full account: JAMES_FEEDBACK_G3T17_2026-09-29.md. Two things need your word before anything moves.

The two that need you

1. A new lesson part, L01b "Marks worth 1, 2, 5 or 10". You wrote, on the practice item "from 0 to 50 there are five spaces": "I guarantee kids will get this wrong because, in all of the examples you've shown in the lessons, the marks are worth 2 … You could have that as a separate lesson." L01b shows four tools' marks side by side — a ruler (1), the thermometer (2), a jug (10), a timer (5) — with the division line under each count, then a ten-item quiz on fresh strips. It is a blueprint change, so it sits on the blueprint with status new; its video is scripted (146 words) but held out of the Peps batch until you approve. Blueprint · L01b article · quiz Approve / fold it into L01 / say what else

2. The type sheet, re-ranked. Nine types, fourteen exemplars: easy on the first atoms, medium in the middle, hard at the end and where two skills combine. The new hard type is your model — "read the warmer one, then read it" (a bath and a sink, 98 °F). The team-colour item is an MCQ; the cup-of-water unit item asks a mass instead (one taught unit); the dashboard item says the dashboard is in the hot sun. One tension is named on the sheet: the Fahrenheit-reading atom is early, but its typed reading and the warmer-one item are hard by your other two rules. The nine types Approve all / strike the two-side item / edit these

Still open from 28 September

3. The proposed atom SR3-P01 "What is one mark worth?" — now two lessons (L01, L01b) rest on it. The proposal Adopt / say what else

4. Counting up to eight 1 °C marks with the zoom strip — kept as built. Keep / limit to five marks

Applied without asking (your words of 29 September)

The thermometer MCQ with 54 among 50 / 54 / 60 → tens only (40 / 50 / 60 / 70); "four marks above the 80" deleted, every worded reading drawn; marks worth 1, 2, 5 and 10 across the topic (a drawn table in the feedback record); 10 ÷ 5 = 2 as its own line in every mark-worth why and in the articles; the orange at 200 g after the apple; "read where the water lies", then the close-up with the curve, flat everywhere else, "meniscus" never said; Gabe's scale-and-soup claim deleted, the kept misconception items (marks counted as 1; a difference means a mistake) cited to their sources; Fatou's unit item closed; the dashboard item's cause stated; the team-colour item an MCQ; units as words, instrument printing keeps its symbol.
