Pupils needing extra support

Could use an alternative (larger) unit of measurement to measure leaves in the adult-led task; could be given sorting hoops to sort leaves according to simple criteria (e.g. size, shape or colour) as opposed to completing the Activity: are all leaves the same?; could create an A3 version of the optional independent task.

Pupils working at greater depth
