Pupils needing extra support:

• Could highlight the constraints or aims of the playground design challenge by using the Resource: Playground design challenge audio transcript during the Attention grabber to reduce the need to make notes and retain information from the audio description.
• Could use the Resource: Sorting structures to tick off each question as they work through the flow chart, helping them keep track of their decisions.
• Could use the Activity: Pictures of structures: support version to sort a reduced number of examples, supporting accurate identification of structure types.
• Could sketch one or two ideas instead of three to focus on meeting the constraints clearly, rather than producing multiple designs.
• Could use the pre-cut Activity: Diamond nine to sort the constraints during the Wrapping up.
• Could sort fewer constraints in the diamond nine activity, focusing on safe, cost, sustainable, enjoyable and inclusive.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should suggest additional real-world structures that fit each structure type to extend their classification thinking.
• Should explain why they are prioritising particular constraints in each sketch by linking design features to those constraints.
