After explaning I asked pupils to go to the front to try out the activity individually and get helped from the rest of the friends, if they got stuck with the problem. I only help them when needed. Later when pupils have shown that they were able to handle the activity , I asked them to work in pairs to try out the activity. The Year 5 pupils took a longer time to acquire the skills to solve the problems compared to Year 4 pupils.
