📋 EA Field Guide (How to Implement)

🎒 Materials & Location

• Where are the physical tools stored? Yellow highlighter, masking window card/cover sheet, single-item problem strips.

🚶‍♂️ Step-by-Step Routine

1. Masking Setup: Cover all math problems on the worksheet using a window card except problem #1.
2. Highlight First Step: Highlight the starting number or first operation in yellow to signal where to begin.
3. Progressive Uncovering: Move the cover sheet down to reveal problem #2 only after problem #1 is finished.

🚨 Troubleshooting & Avoidance (When things go wrong)

• If a full page causes anxiety: Cut the worksheet into single-row strips or present one problem at a time on a mini clipboard.
• What NEVER to do: Never place a 30-item math worksheet on the desk without masking or chunking visual layout.
• Signs of frustration: Rapid glances around room, tapping pencil, refusal to start. Reduce visible items to 1.
