18th of April self learning day about activities for the lesson

1) What is the principle- Put mathematical problem to think about it, after recognizing the problem, students assess what principles, formulas to apply in order to solve it. Helps focus on problem types rather than individual specific problems. Principles and formulas should be listed out.

2) True or False- Distribute index cards(one to each student) on which is written a statement or mathematical task with the answers which can be not true.Half of the cards will contain the statements that are true, half false. Students decide if theirs is one of the true statements or task with true given answers, using whatever means they desire. Variation: designate half the room a space for those who think their statement are true, and the other half for false.

3) Real world- have students discuss in the class  how a topic or concept relates to a real- world application or product. Then have students write about this topic for homework. Variation: ask them to record their answer on index cards.

4) Advice letter- Students write a letter of advice to the future students on how to be successful students in that course.
