Some learning objects have different levels – choosing these allows students to work at levels appropriate to their understanding, while appearing to undertake the same task as their classmates.

  18. It’s the way you use it that matters… Hopper challenge: tenths Set the rule for a frog’s jump and explore the pattern created.
