Picture descriptions for the tasks:
1. One square: A is a stall with four people in front. B is an empty bench by a tree. Lea says I can see lots of people by the stall. Mika says I can see an empty bench by the tree. Write or say A or B by each card.
2. Two sides of the same playhouse: both have a rectangular wall, a pointed roof and one chimney. The front has a door and one round window. The back has two square windows. Find two things that are the same, and point or circle them in both pictures.
3. Lea says There are lots of people by the stall. Mika says The bench by the tree is empty. Can both cards fit the picture on page 1? Answer choices: No, the picture shows no empty bench. Yes, they describe different parts of the square.
