Yes or no questions
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create questions that have yes/no answers.
Key learning points
- Some questions can only have yes or no answers.
- Questions can be made up about a specific group of objects.
- A group of objects can be split using a yes/no question.
- An object is something that is uniquely identifiable and has attributes.
Keywords
Object - something that is uniquely identifiable and has attributes
Attribute - a thing or quality about an object, like its colour or size
Common misconception
Objects can only be grouped in one way.
Objects can be grouped in multiple ways using different attributes to create groups.
Teacher tip
Sometimes computers aren't the best way to introduce concepts. Seeing a physical object helps pupils appreciate the nuances of what they are comparing. Find ways to help pupils use props available in the classroom that they can answer questions about.
Equipment
Pupils will be comparing physical objects, so a group of objects will need to be available such as a selection of classroom objects.

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
