Create a classroom resource with a clear provenance record
The finished resource in this case is an original comparison worksheet. Its text, small dataset and questions were created for this exercise; it contains no external photograph, logo, textbook extract or pupil work. A provenance record documents those choices and the excluded alternatives. It is a conservative production example, not a legal determination about a third-party work.
Complete learner worksheet CR01 version 1
Task: A fictional reading corner has three boxes of blank cards. Box A has 18 cards, Box B has 27 and Box C has 15. No cards move during Questions 1 and 2. Use the counts below; no image or outside pack is needed.
| Box | Number of cards |
|---|---|
| A | 18 |
| B | 27 |
| C | 15 |
1. Which box has the most cards? Give its letter and count.
2. How many more cards are in B than C? Show the calculation.
3. Six cards move from B to C. Give all three new counts and show that the total is unchanged.
4. A caption says “Moving six cards makes the collection larger.” Rewrite it using the evidence. Write your responses on paper; this page does not save typed answers.
Worked answer and review
1. B has 27, greater than 18 and 15. 2. 27 − 15 = 12. 3. A stays 18; B becomes 21; C becomes 21. Before: 18+27+15=60; after: 18+21+21=60. 4. “Six cards moved between boxes, so the distribution changed while the total remained 60.” A valid explanation distinguishes transfer from adding new cards. A wrong total should lead to tracing the same six cards at both source and destination.
Completed provenance and permissions decision log
| Component or proposal | Origin and inspected evidence | Decision for CR01 | Reason and boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Worksheet wording and questions | New original wording written for this classroom case; version CR01-v1, 6 October 2026. | Included. | No copied question bank or official-paper wording is represented. |
| Counts and table | Invented values 18,27,15; native table created here. | Included, clearly fictional. | Not survey data, a classroom result or an external dataset. |
| Decoration proposal: online photo of pupils | Hypothetical proposed photo; no actual photo obtained, no exact licence or consent record inspected. | Excluded before production. | The job does not need a photograph; do not invent a rights/consent check or download one for decoration. |
| Proposal: scan a workbook page | Hypothetical scan; no permission or applicable licence supplied. | Excluded; original task authored instead. | The worksheet needs the comparison skill, not that publisher’s specific expression. |
| Publisher or school logo | No authorised logo asset supplied. | Excluded. | No affiliation or official approval is implied. |
| WIPO guidance link | WIPO copyright FAQ, consulted 6 October 2026. | Linked as background, not copied into the worksheet. | Guidance is distinct from permission to reuse a particular resource. |
WIPO explains that online availability does not itself put a work in the public domain. Its discussion of copyright questions and limitations and exceptions does not supply a blanket school-use permission. For an actual third-party asset, record the exact creator, item, version, source, relevant licence/permission, permitted use and conditions, then obtain appropriate rights advice if unclear. This case avoids needing such an asset.
Completed review and independent production decision
Content review: all four answers were recomputed, box labels do not rely on colour, the data is also stated in prose, and the question never depends on a picture of a real child. Intended use: teacher-selected comparison and conservation-of-total practice. Current curriculum fit, actual print layout and any publication licence decision remain separate checks. No licence over third-party material is created by this record.
Practice: A colleague proposes replacing the original table with a screenshot from a paid resource because “crediting the website makes it safe”. Write a decision and preserve the teaching job.
Worked answer and review
Do not treat attribution alone as permission. Record the proposed screenshot as excluded/pending a check of the exact work and intended use; do not reproduce it first. Retain CR01’s complete original table and tasks, which already serve the outcome. If authorised reuse is later established, keep the actual permission/licence evidence and its conditions with the selected version; do not label an uninspected screenshot approved.
