Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify different ways of grouping and sorting sets of wild animals into groups using a range of matching criteria for their body parts and colours
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe and compare different types of animals that live wild in habitats around the world and a template to select and record information about wild animals to group and sort using different matching criteria.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to sort sets of different wild animals into groups using a range of matching criteria.
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to explore how to use a computer database to store, organise and interrogate data and information about different animals that live wild in the world. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
