Planning a Task
Make a simple plan before starting a task: what do I need to do, and what should I do first?
Suggested ages 6–7
Evidence of understanding
- Before starting a task, describe what they need to do and what order to do it in
- Break a larger task into smaller steps without being prompted — e.g. 'First I'll read the question, then I'll draw a diagram'
- Gather the materials or information they need before beginning, rather than starting and then stopping to find things
Assessment prompt
Before Planning a Task starts a bigger task — like writing a story or making something — do they take a moment to think about what they'll do first?
