In this workshop, we will explore how to implement meaningful, subject-specific “May Do” activities that learners can choose from once they have completed their “Must Do” work. These activities are not filler tasks but exciting, purposeful extensions that deepen learning in English and Maths while keeping learners engaged and motivated.
By offering learners structured choice menus, you will create a classroom environment where students take ownership of their learning, work diligently on essential tasks, and look forward to meaningful enrichment opportunities. These activities provide a natural structure to the week, helping teachers plan effectively while ensuring learners always have a high-quality, engaging task to work on.
Many children struggle with word problems due to challenges such as lower language comprehension, learning differences, or difficulty with abstract reasoning. In this workshop, we will explore effective strategies to help students master word problems, including multi-step problems that require different operations. Participants will engage in hands-on problem-solving activities, experience classroom-tested approaches, and take away a plan designed to support student understanding. Join us for a practical and interactive session that will equip you with tools to enhance mathematical problem-solving in your classroom.
