You can use Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel or basically any other spreadsheet for this traffic light system. Try it out with your students and comment below how you found this method of working. I usually display the spread sheet in front of the whole class when addressing them. This gives students a clear indication on how much work they have completed and how much work is left to complete. This is a single sheet to use as a reference guide.
