You must hand in your responses by 1815 for it to be graded. If you are late for classes, you will have to forgo the opportunity to attemp the quiz.

Some tasks are content based. Others are based on pedagogy.

Content Type Task

Pedagogy Type Task
Miss Lim uses three types of materials to teach numbers to twenty (e.g. 18) - ice-cream sticks, 1-cent and 10-cent coins and base ten blocks.
