Put learning into practice

Kids, from the beginning of time have always asked, “Why do we have to learn this?”

And it used to be so simple.

“You need to learn how to club dinosaurs so we can eat, Kronk.” But now, the answer is much more complicated. Why do we have to do algebra? Why do we have to write about our Christmas/Easter holiday – yet again?

You probably need to be prepared and have answers ready. The best way not to be forced to answer the difficult question is to put it into practice. If you learn about FRICTION – show how it applies to rolling a bal on the carpet V the floor.

If you learn about 3D shapes – make them. Use shopping catalogues for math activities. Explore probability by rolling dice.
