Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: May find the time-limited challenges difficult to cope with. Give them the option to time other children using a stopwatch, if they show signs of becoming agitated.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should explain what a growth mindset is and how it could be applied in different contexts. Should maintain a sense of humour or stay calm throughout the activities.
