No, these aren’t trays that think for themselves - but they will certainly make your students do a lot of thinking! Specifically, they help to enhance memorisation skills and concentration by encouraging your students to pay attention to number patterns.
Also, Smart Trays aren’t only useful for maths problems. You can also modify them to work with science and language-related questions. No matter the particular problem you want your students to solve, Smart Trays have a solution!
Activity Ideas:
- Problem solving. Give the students the tray with the maths problems facing up. They must then insert the tiles corresponding to the answers to those problems.
- Pattern matching. Students must match the patterns on their tiles to the ones on the tray.
- Integrated lessons. Incorporate questions from maths-related subjects as well, like science.
