Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Could create a pictogram by glueing the robot pictures from the Activity: Robot icons (support) onto paper.

Learners working at a stretch:
- Should complete both a pictogram and a bar chart to present their data.
- Could include an extra answer option in their survey and present their data on squared paper rather than using the template provided.
