Compare week plans using multiple criteria
Compare week plans using multiple criteria
About 18 minutes, plus any extended practice
Supplied materials
- Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
- An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
- PlanA has a sixty-minute weekly average but lower weekday totals. PlanB supplies sixty minutes each day, but has no access or safety details. A can be flagged for a daily-pattern planning gap; B’s daily-time component is supported in the model while its missing checks remain unknown. The comparison should not declare B universally safe or treat A’s average as proof of daily coverage.
- A teen week averages 60 but four days are below 60. What fits?
- Each fictional day is 60, but access/environment information is absent. What fits?
- One 15 minute dual-type block is recorded as 30 clock minutes. What fits?
- A plan gives times but no participant abilities or environment conditions. What fits?
- A high Sunday total hides five lower weekdays. What fits?
- All time totals are correct but no safety/access evidence exists. What fits?
Learn the idea
A week plan needs more than one number. For a teen, daily totals, type-day counts, access, environment and individual support can matter. A higher weekly sum does not automatically make a plan better, safer or appropriate for every person.
Create a comparison table with one column per stated criterion. Do not let an average erase daily gaps or an overlapping type create extra minutes. Select a revision supported by the actual evidence, and leave missing conditions unknown.
Use fictional plans only. No activity or personal data is required. Paper participation is complete. Real-world suitability and performance need appropriate observation and guidance; a plan comparison cannot certify health or motor outcomes.
- Mark the facts or constraints in the supplied case.
- Apply the method explained above; draw a sequence, table or decision map.
- Compare your result with the worked solution and explain the difference.
- Complete the new cases, then check the changed-case extension.

Helpful tips
- A sum or average cannot stand in for all planning checks.
- Absent access or safety information must not be marked passed.
See the answer and explanation
Flag the daily-pattern gap because a weekly average conceals lower youth days.
The daily pattern differs from the youth reference despite the average.
Take it further
Compare a teen 60 average week with varying days against a 60-each-day plan lacking access facts. Expected: daily gap in the first, time support in second, unknown access/suitability and no universal safety claim.
