Activity is designed to foster challenge in a fun and engaging way.
The checkerboard is made up of a number of activities, each with a point value depending on difficulty.
Students then choose the tasks they would like to do, however, teachers can control the level of challenge by assigning "total score targets" depending on ability.
The activities force independent enquiry so it is always handy to have textbooks and dictionaries to hand if possible. Every time I have used this activity I am surprised by the enthusiasm and quality of work produced.
