Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Could use pre-cut 2D shapes.
- Should progress from folding and curving the card to making it more rigid, to making a 3D sculpture using three pieces of card, joined together using simple slots.
Learners working at a stretch:
- Should explore their own ideas for joining pieces and for making the structure more stable.
- could consider whether they could make their 3D structure more interesting by adding more shapes or by cutting irregular shapes in the card.
