Timetable Gap Task feedback – tweaking ARE task → GDS task Game Use of TAs, deployment Mathematics interventions which work Working in groups loopy model etc. Break Games Resources - maybe look at different ones and how they can be used in different ways, e.g. numicon for decimals etc? Lunch Game Explore ways to answer Luke's question re: loopy model More examples of greater depth challenges and questions
