Enter a lunch PIN at the cafeteria register
When to use this goal
For students who go through the lunch line but stop at the register while staff look up their account. Present levels in reading or matching numbers decide fit. The PIN is private; keep the student's card or prompt where others cannot see it.
- Baseline
- Record 10 lunches: did the student enter the correct PIN at the register without staff help. Ask cafeteria staff how the account is usually found; some schools use cards or name lookup, which changes the task.
- Tips
- Teach at a practice keypad first, then the real register at quieter times. Tell cafeteria staff the plan so they wait. A student who cannot read numbers can match the card digit by digit.
- Limits
- Schools that use scanners or name lookup have no PIN step; write a different checkout step instead. Does not measure choosing the meal.
