The playdoh and duplos are great ways students can show how they understand ideas that are taught in the classroom. While using the playdoh, the students get to play and learn at the same time by being creative and having to think more in a 3 Dimensional way. This can be very difficult for some students but in play the frustration level is greatly reduced. It also provides a reward for the students when their work is completed.\r\n\r\nThe Duplos are another tool that engages the students to show their understanding and thinking. These tools are a little less forgiving than the playdoh and require the students to do a little more problem solving. Again because it is through play, frustration levels of the students are decreased. The students are happy to engage and try with these tools, duplos and playdoh.
