Check spacing along a route

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.
• The model has two arrows from a desk to a circle. RouteA crosses a bag; RouteB goes around it within the clear box. ChooseB because the whole route avoids the obstacle. Its extra length is not a defect: the criterion is clear passage, not shortest distance. If neither route were clear, the correct next step would be adult help or a paper-only alternative.
• A is clear; B crosses a chair. Which route fits the clear-path criterion?
• B is clear; A crosses a bag. Which fits?
• Both arrows cross blocked areas. What fits?
• Both routes are narrow, but the model does not specify the action’s width. What fits?
• A has clear passage from start to finish; B enters a spill area. Which fits?
• B avoids both obstacles; A avoids the first but hits the second. Which fits?

Learn the idea

A route can be safe at its start and blocked farther along. A paper spacing check traces the full route and the space needed for its planned action. People should not have to accept collisions to participate.

Use the room description to make a simple drawing. Mark obstacles, compare the planned arrow with the clear area and choose a repair. More than one clear route can work, but choose the one that fits the question’s stated constraints. A short route is not automatically the best one.

Complete this with drawing only. Do not move equipment or test a tight gap. A responsible adult checks real environments. Optional seated gestures need comfortable clear space and can be replaced by explaining the route.

1. Read or listen to the pretend story. Point to the details the question gives you.
2. Follow each described arrow from start to finish. Choose or draw a route that avoids every listed obstacle and follows the question’s rule.
3. Check your answer against the example. Say what matches and what you would change.
4. Try the practice questions, then the extra task. Drawing or spoken answers are welcome.

Take it further

Draw two obstacles and a third route C that avoids both. Expected: the entire arrow remains in a clear area; note that a real adult must still check a real space.
