Learning grids – linking to learn
John Mitchell@Jivespin
What is a learning grid?The activity itself involves a grid of 12 to 16 squares – each square is numbered. In each square there is a word or image – they are all connected to a topic or a sub-topic.
The grid can either be given to students on paper or projected from a PowerPoint slide.
You will need 12 sided dice for the students to complete the activity.
