Resources for educators and school leaders
I am developing a small collection of practical resources for educators and school leaders working with Concept-Based Inquiry, mathematics, curriculum design and professional learning. Each resource will be grounded in classroom and school-based practice.
Fractions Loop Game
A print-and-cut “I have… Who has…?” game that helps students connect mixed numbers written in words with symbolic fraction notation.
How to use: Print and cut the page into 12 cards. Distribute one card to each student or pair. The player with START reads first; each response leads to the next card until the loop returns to the starting value.

A bilingual English–Arabic “I have… Who has…?” game for practising the 7 times table from 1 × 7 to 12 × 7.
How to use: Print and cut the two pages into cards. Use either the English set or the Arabic set. Distribute one card to each student or pair. The player with START reads first; each response leads to the next card until the loop returns to 49.
