Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Read or listen to the model and identify what the task asks before responding.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Which stage is the focus of this card?
  2. Which stage is also called a caterpillar?
  3. Can the arrows alone tell us how many days each stage lasts? Why?

A common mistake to discuss

No duration scale or observations are supplied, so exact stage lengths cannot be inferred.

What to practice next

Create a different example that preserves the learning goal, and explain how you would check it.
