Design activities that will engage students, consolidate their learning, and provide opportunity for extending understanding. � Although it is often necessary for students to practice routine skills (e.g. subtraction), it is often beneficial for them to do so within a varied context (a range of different problems that involve the new skill) - rather than merely as a repetitive act. � By providing differentiated activities, you can ensure that more able students are suitably challenged and that students in need of additional help are not left behind or ignored.� Judicious use of classroom assistants can ensure that all students are included in the activity session. � Vary the activity so that, over a sequence of lessons, all the intelligences will have been engaged. � |
