ABOUT LANGLEY

Detailed descriptions of possible activities are included in this document, so as to give the tutors in charge of the game tools to address the needs of their particular group. However, once the participants have become acquainted with the material and the activities available, it is encouraged that they are allowed to choose themselves what tasks to carry out, or even create their own.
Since one of the fundamental pillars of the Langley Math Learning System is self-learning, the teacher or tutor must only act as a facilitator, choosing the most appropriate task considering their skills and needs, explaining it and giving examples if required. The students must be protagonist of their own learning process at all times, and they must have the opportunity to identify their own mistakes and self-correct. To carry out all tasks, this product includes supporting material which must be available should they need them.
