Challenging Worksheets
The problem written on a worksheet and shown in this page (picture 6) was created by a teacher to challenge students to think critically. The teacher gave the worksheet to the students.
After the students had worked to solve the problem they had to tell him the answer, then explain how they had solved the problem.
By doing this kind of activity, teachers can monitor students’ development and give them help if they need it.
In the next round of training, participants will be trained to make work sheets which challenge students to think.
