Terrific Teaching: Open - ended Homework Tasks Upper Primary

$19.95

About This PDF

The homework tasks in this downloadable PDF resource aim to encourage an interest in learning. They are varied to avoid boredom and open-ended to allow all students to complete the same task at their ability level. More capable students are challenged, and struggling students are not demeaned by work that is too hard or is different to the work set for the rest of the class.

As family participation is required, parents can observe their child’s progress and students benefit from positive adult input. Many of the tasks do not require teacher marking as they are games to play at home or they require students to make a presentation to the class. There is usually very little to be corrected if parents are supporting their child. However, this means that homework presentation time needs to be in the timetable.

Most of the tasks do not require teacher marking as they are games to play at home or they require students to make a presentation to the class.

Participation in the tasks by parents or carers means that they can observe their child’s progress and provide some positive input, while supporting the work you are doing in the classroom.

The 36 weekly homework tasks in this downloadable PDF resource provide:

  • Open-ended activities – to allow all students to complete the same task at their own ability level.
  • Variety – to avoid boredom and encourage learning.
  • Challenges – for more capable students while not demeaning struggling students with work that is too hard or is different from the work set for the rest of the class.
