Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 3. Draw a large picture showing the sea, mountains above the sea and space below sea level. Provide pictures of items such as a fish, a whale, a boat, car, house, an octopus etc. Ask the learners where they would place each of the items on your picture. Encourage them to say "above the sea level" or "below the sea level". When all the items are stuck, discuss how high the plane might be and how low the octopus might be and so on. Introduce the "minus" sign to indicate under the sea level The document numbers this indicator's single exemplar E.g. 3, continuing the numbering of the indicator above it on the same page.
