This lesson enables students to:

• estimate and measure leaves in a number of ways
• learn different techniques to measure a complex shape
• think about fair tests and be asked to organise and display their data

The lesson is designed to help teachers cover measurement,...

In this adaptable lesson plan by Barefoot Computing, children create a simple model (out of Lego or similar) and then take photos to create instructions (an algorithm) for other children to recreate their model. By removing one block at a time they are decomposing the problem into manageable steps. Teachers may...

In this activity SEND pupils will learn to create a clear algorithm for someone else to follow. Pupils will create a simple model from Lego and then take photographs to create a visual algorithm to help other pupils to recreate their model. As they remove one block at a time they are learning to decompose a problem...
