We look at the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy - this can be done with a kinaesthetic task where students walk around the class and note down the pros and cons of the different strategies on their sheet (quite a few to remember and not so fun to write it all down from the board). Some consolidation questions before finishing with a box plenary.
