• Possible forms of differentiation:- Adult support- Use of varied models and images- Use of varied equipment- Use of varied questioning

Developing a Learning Environment

Includes physical environment and learning culture:•Interactive area•Maths display / visual prompts•Considered opportunities for use of role-play area•Considered opportunities within other ‘play-based’ activities / areas of the classroom•Access to resources – promoting independence•Outdoor learning•Prompts for adults around classroom, e.g. key questions/language to model and use
