TESSA - The Maths Game

These short dramas portray a range of active learning techniques in a fictional primary school in West Africa: 'Cast the Spell' - creating a drama in the classroom;  'Seven Rivers in Africa' - using songs and poems; 'The Maths Game' -  engaging pupils with games;  'The Open Day Drama' -  pupils working in groups;  'The Town Meeting' - interactive stories  and 'Let me do the Cooking Mama' -  practical tasks. 

These dramas are not 'perfect' lessons but raise questions about different strategies which teachers can use to enhance their pupils’ learning.  

The clips in this album are designed to be  used to support the  development of teachers' classroom practice in both formal and non formal learning situations.  This material is from the TESSA (Teacher Education in Sub Saharan Africa) initiative.
