Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. 3 your child may have counted every square, including the start square, which gives 4. Ask how many moves it takes to get from the start to the star.

2. 4 your child sent the robot straight through the rock in 2 moves. A robot cannot step onto a rock, so it must go round it: down, right, right, up.

3. 4

B

1. website

2. web page

C

1. Labelled buttons: Home, Birds, Quiz

2. Photos of owls with short video clips

3. A program that fetches and shows web pages

4. Helps a visitor: Clear headings, Search bar, Labelled menu · Makes it hard to use: Text with no breaks, Broken links your child may have put broken links under helps. Ask: does this link open the right page, or does it lead nowhere?

D

1. Look for: says Kit is wrong, and that a website is many linked web pages while a web page is one document inside it your child may have agreed with Kit, which means the website and web page are treated as the same. Point to a book on the shelf: the whole book is like the website, and one of its pages is like a web page.

E

1. Look for: says the whole collection is the website and each page reached is a web page, with a reason

Words to use

Say“Show me the whole site first, then one page inside it. What is the difference?”

Instead of“Say that a website is just a page with an address, which mixes the two up.”

After the sheet

Take a book from the bookshelf. Ask which part is the whole book and which part is one page. Then ask which is like the website and which is like a web page.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
