Hi,
I can add an example how categorisation can be useful for teachers. I copy
paste it from a conversation I had yesterday evening on irc.
If you want to teach future to pupils, you put lots of present words in
categorisation activity and a few future
words, and you ask to categorise.
1- Kids read them
2- analyse them
3- understand that there is a difference,
4- understand what it is
5- undestand that these verbs all describe something which did not yet
happened
6- teachers can put a word on the concept and tell the kids that whenever
they ecounter this tense we will call it future.
Same remark than Johnny, we already have a lots of mathematical games. If a
teacher really wants to do this, he can use the word mode of categorisation
to do it, recording 3*3 as an object to categorise if he wants. But we do
not need a new activity for that.
Regards,
Emmanuel
