Watch

Ellie talks it through while the picture builds, one piece at a time.

A quick check asking to order three numbers, with answer boxes and a Hint button.

Check

Quick checks after every idea. Hint helps without giving the answer away.

A practice question worked in steps, with each answer written on the My working board.

Practise

Practice comes in small steps, and every answer is written on the board.
