Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

May need support working out where they are on the Activity: Mapping my route. This can be done by identifying features around them that they can recognise on the map.

 

Pupils working at greater depth

Could be responsible for checking all activities have been completed and the group has collected enough data. Could consider the limitations of the data collection methods (e.g. only taken at a particular time of day or year, children may be at school so not a fair representation, etc.)
