1.3 Explain how you would use it or adapt it for your teaching. (4)
a) The teacher will use the OER as it is no need to change it.
b) Download the OER as pdf and use it to teach learners in class.
Materials
Copies of a rectangle with edges marked (one for each student/ group, see attached
blackline master)
A straight edge tools
Actions
The teacher should guide students through these actions, as the text in this task is too complex for
some second graders.
a. Draw a grid on the rectangle by connecting each mark to the one directly across from it on the opposite
edge.
