Chunking is the strategy of breaking down material into digestible proportions in order to avoid cognitive overload and help students to transition more easily into new information. When we add strategies that promote critical thinking, we’ve created an even more effective means of presenting new ideas to our students.

Scaffolding Halloween (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
Students don’t develop number sense by accident or even as a side effect of engaging in informal activities such as puzzles or songs – even those that, on the surface appear to be related to math. Experts insist that although every child can learn number sense, not every child will unless they intentionally and systematically participate in activities that promote the skill. This scaffold focus on that and so much more.
Scaffolding Dense Information with Art (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
In this global environment, we need to help our students to develop as many skills as possible so that they are qualified for a myriad of situations. To do this, we create opportunities for them to learn through as many different learning styles as possible*. Some students in your class might be able to function in the classroom language linguistically without the need for other means of adaption. On the other hand, many of your students need visuals, audio, verbal, kinesthetics or physical interaction with the material – or any combination of these – to assimilate new knowledge.

Scaffolding with Irony (Pre-School/Lower Primary)
Adding humour to a lesson is always a recipe for success. Humour changes the dynamic of the class and helps students to see their lessons from a different frame of mind. This scaffold uses irony to help make potentially dry material more inviting and accessible – irony being the highest form of humour.
Of course, there is very little ‘dry material’ in Pre-School classes, especially since Pre-School teachers bring so much energy to virtually anything you do in the classroom. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to remember that we can present new information in a variety of ways to keep our little learners on their toes! (I grew up with an entire extended family who thrived on challenging all its members – from the eldest to the youngest – through ironic statements and very straight faces. I believe that helped me question everything in a very healthy way!)
