In case you are trying the MARS MAP Classroom Challenges for the first time, it is recommended that you read the Brief Guide for teachers and administrators before you get started.
At the start of the lesson, students think individually about their responses to the questions set.
In the same small groups, students evaluate and comment on sample responses, identifying the strengths and weaknesses in each approach and comparing them with their own work.
In a whole-class discussion students compare and evaluate the methods they have seen and used.
In a follow-up lesson, students reflect on their work and what they have learned.
