I thought it will empower them, wanted to give them an opportunity to own their whole class learning....

It was a Science class in the year 2016-17. Theme was Mass and Weight. As it was a physics theme at the end of the year, the children were very enthusiastic and looking forward for each science class for some hands on experiment .Newton’s three laws of motion had to be taught. Many were aware...

This must be THE unforgettable moment, like EVER! It was last year. I was conducting a class on DIVISION, the finest distributing friend of all time. We commenced off playing with tokens. I posed a question to the children. “I have 12 tokens and I want to give it away to 4 children. How much...
