Teaching a lesson with the assistance of your students to keep them engaged.
Class sizes vary from school to school. Some classes have over 31 students while others are lucky to have about 25 students. More students usually mean more issues in the classroom because students can be lost in such a large number. Behavioural issues often stem from boredom.
Keep students motivated by make them move every 20 minutes or so. Students need to move, as do adults to keep them engaged in an activity. Math does not have to be sitting through an entire lesson, students are great models for math problems. As well, they are great models to identify parts of a sentences and incomplete sentences. You can also use students to emphasize a period, exclamation mark, or question mark going at the end of sentence.
Use students as models to assist in teaching a concept from language arts to science. Students will be more engaged because they will want to be a model and because they are employing more senses in the learning process.
