Commented [TB5]: Evidence of resource that is designed
to respond to Ss interests. Resource makes learning relevant
by linking mathematics to real life situations. Ss are more
engaged when learning is relevant to themselves.
Commented [TB6]: Evidence of learning activity that
allows Ss to apply their current knowledge through the
creation of their own resource. Ss are able to reflect and will
be able to use the resource for future reference.
Commented [TB7]: A range of resources including ICT
that are designed to engage Ss and encourage them to be
active participants in their learning. Fraction activities are
hands on and allow for Ss to explore and develop their
fraction knowledge in diverse and engaging ways. Activity
integrates ICT, allowing Ss further develop their fraction
knowledge through a computer game.
