Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Could use the Resource: BeeBot error clues to allow more time to work on a solution.
- Could work through challenges at their own pace.
Learners working at a stretch:
- Should explain to a partner or adult how they know their improved instructions are correct before testing them.
- Could create their own sets of Bee-Bot instructions that include deliberate errors for a partner to spot and correct, helping them think carefully about how and why instructions work or fail.
