Concentric Squares

Resources: 

Create your own squares.


How It Works

There are many versions of this activity. (I was first introduced this on a training session with fellow ASTs by Dr Andy Love.)

You can adapt it for any subject and any year group
A picture? A text? A diagram? A quote? A technique?

You could…


Start by blue-tacing a picture in the red square…


When they lift the square- behind it will contain instructions for the square.

Students will write on parts of the square that border the square its behind! (Re-read, it makes sense!!)

E.G- (These can be based on levels/grade descriptors/mark schemes)



  • GreenIdentify/State what you can see/READ
  • BlueDescribe what you can see/READ
  • OrangeExplain what you can see/READ
  • YellowCompare and contrast what you can see/READ
  • Pink– What else would you like to know
