Each worksheet contains a total of either 6 or 8 questions. These questions could be used as a whole, or cut up into strips of 3 or 4 questions for a shorter task. They could also be used for partner work, depending on the ability of the children.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Likewise, I am still developing these resources, so any helpful comments would also be appreciated.
