Find your partner Students receive cards with an assignment (in my case: a calculation) Students have to find a partner who has a question that results in the same answer On the back of the cards, students find follow-up questions. They search for the answer in their books together

Create assignment Teacher explains a framework for the students to follow in order to create their own assignment Students create an assignment, after which they swap notebooks Students do the assignment of their neighbor, return the notebooks and check their answers

Math Market Students pair up and choose an assignment to do from a selection of activities printed on seperate papers After finishing the assignment students ask teacher for the correct answer If the answer is correct, they choose a new assignment

Standing up game Students have to answer questions asked by the teacher by writing down the answer in their notebooks One student is asked for the answer and explanation After the correct answer has been provided, all students with the wrong answer can sit down

Alphabet Students write down the letters of the alphabet in their notebooks In a set amount of time (f.e. 2 minutes) the students have to write down as many different words related to the current topic/chapter etc. Afterwards, students who have the most words win. Together you compile a list that is as complete as possible.

Bingo Students make a list of 10 of the most important words of the current topic/ paragraph/chapter Teacher reads out the terms one by one Student who has striped through all of the words first wins

Word to sentence Teacher provides two words Students have to create a sentence containing these words

a)y=x2+2 b)y=3x2 c) y=2x+5 d) y=-5x2+3 Odd one out Teacher provides a set of assignments of which one (or more) don’t fit with the rest. Students have to discuss which one and explain why. Example: Determine which one is the odd one out of these four formlas a)y=x2+2 b)y=3x2 c) y=2x+5 d) y=-5x2+3

CLIL explained What made this activity CLIL? Language is involved Input: Reading and listening Output: Writing Active thinking You are asked for a contribution The answers are not correct or wrong

English in your lesson Answer these three questions on your paper What words/phrases commonly pose a problem for students? What do you do to help them? 3. What do you think is a good idea everyone can use in their lessons?

Classroom English for Mathematics “Dirty Tree” Variable Accentuation Negative vs. Minus Any more?

More ideas to use English “Word to sentence” with new words Student generated definitions “Repeat after me” Listen and record

What did we talk about? A good CLIL activity should involve both language and active learning Discussion about CLIL in a Maths lesson Several activities Common language challenges in a Maths lesson Samenvatting, Invite!
