Highlights
• Engaging Worksheets
26 thoughtfully designed worksheets, including a variety of engaging activities, some of which contain differentiated versions for different levels of students. Collaborative and interactive activities promoting pair work or group work are also included in this pack. Take the Matching Cards activity for example, students can play in pairs or groups. The Cut&Match worksheets (two versions: ice cream cones & pencils) can be printed out on A3 papers to create larger cards. Before cutting out the cards, students can play Fly Swat in pairs using the sheet. Don’t forget to laminate the sheets to increase durability.
Note: for all included worksheets, students can write in either Chinese characters or Pinyin according to their levels.

• Handy Answer Keys
Carefully designed Answer Keys to help simplify the process of checking answers and provide scaffolding where needed.
Peer Assessment - When checking answers, teachers could ask students to swap their worksheets with one another and peer mark each other’s work.
Scaffolding (Exemplars) - To best scaffold some students, teachers/parents can use a reasonable part of the Answer Key sheet as exemplars to show students explicitly what they need to do.

• Fostering Handwriting Skills
Creative ways of exploring the numbers in Chinese characters and fostering students’ handwriting skills through using the uniquely designed Three-Step Writing Initiative.

• Various Uses
This activity pack can be applied in varied ways that best suit educators’ needs. For example, the included worksheets can be used to assess students’ knowledge, to be given to students as homework or to be provided to causal casual/relief teachers as set work.
