Some lovely ideas here. I've been trying to add some of these into my A-Level class routines- I absolutely love MWBs but at A-level there's often too much writing on the board or I want them to have a record of the 5 minutes of lovely working out they've done. By getting them to just record their answers it makes it so much easier to hunt for problems!
I could use this to set the tone from the beginning of the lesson - e.g. with a starter. Or just when necessary - I will need few days to figure this out. Maybe use it as a "surprise check" element to keep everyone motivated throughout the lesson.
These suggestions are great - I will definitely share your tips with the teachers I work with. I’m still trying to figure out how to avoid students copying from classmates though, especially when checking for understanding, so any suggestions would be welcome.
