This great bundle of eight activity sheets has four activity sheets for the numbers 1 - 10, and four activity sheets for the numbers 11 - 20. These activity sheets would be ideal for classes with 3 different levels of ability. In the bottom left hand corner of six of the activity sheets you will find a colour in Italian:
verde is for the lower ability group
giallo is for the middle ability group
rosso is for the higher ability group
For each set of numbers there is a fun colouring activity which involves doing some simple maths equations and then colouring the equations which have dieci or venti as their answer. The colouring activity sheets could suit a mixture of abilities.
You may also work through this bundle of activity sheets with your whole class, starting with the numbers 1 to 10 for verde, then if time permits progress to giallo and then rosso. You could choose whether to do the colouring sheet after verde or at a later stage. The same process would work for the activity sheets for numbers 11 - 20. There may then be differentiation by outcome as the more
able pupils may complete more activity sheets in the time allocated than the rest of the class.
For the activity sheets with maths equations some pupils may prefer to write the numbers as figures to help them work out the answers.
These great activity sheets may either be completed in class or would work well as a homework as all the Italian numbers the pupils need to complete the activities are on each page.
Italian introduction to greetings, numbers and months which leads into first homework task. Learning objective : To know basic greetings. To practice a conversation. To compare two conversations.

(As such the spider gram could be done on paper if not wishing to send books away)
See my other resources for FREE provision of a range of mind maps which you can use for the spider gram activity here.
