This document provides information about a book titled "Terrific Teaching" that contains 36 weekly homework tasks. The tasks are designed to provide open-ended activities that all students can complete at their own ability level, variety to avoid boredom, and challenges for more capable students without demeaning struggling students. Most tasks do not require teacher marking and involve games to play at home or presentations for class. The tasks also aim to involve parents in observing their child's progress and supporting classroom work.

The 36 weekly homework tasks
in this book provide:
Open-ended Activities – to allow all students to
complete the same task at their own ability level.
Variety – to avoid boredom and encourage learning.
Challenges – for more capable students while not
demeaning struggling students with work that is too
hard or is different from the work set for the rest of
the class.
Most of the tasks do not require teacher marking
as they are games to play at home or they require
students to make a presentation to the class.
Participation in the tasks by parents or carers means
that they can observe their child’s progress and
provide some positive input, while supporting the
work you are doing
in the classroom. This book includes:
• Planning and organising
suggestions
• Student Class record sheets
• Letter to parent/carer
• Curriculum focus chart for
each task
