WORKSHEETS & PUZZLE GENERATORS!

Worksheet and puzzle generators will do wonders!

In order to make teaching and learning fun this will definitely do the trick. The key to success is to have the willingness to do something, persistence and diligence. With these qualities anyone can excel.
Fortunately for teachers in Trinidad & Tobago, worksheets and puzzles in any subject are now more accessible through online sites.

These generators are beneficial:

It allows children to grasp concepts faster and thorough.

It familiarizes the student with various situations where the concept can be applied.

Practicing through worksheets will introduce a series in the problems or topic advancement.

For example, practicing will make the computational aspect of the math problem manageable. This way can work on sharpening students’ problem solving skills.

It also helps children to be comfortable and concentrate better in doing test like formats.

It assists children in their spelling and vocabulary.

Develops critical thinking skills and proficiency.

Classrooms locally, can use these puzzles and/or worksheets to revise and regular assessments.

However there are drawbacks:

This type of learning might not stay in the long term memory.

Although students may get answers correct, it doesn’t mean they understand the concept.

These generators are usually foreign based and may be culturally irrelevant to student in Trinidad and Tobago
