There’s an abundance of printable worksheets available to educators today. The question is – how relevant and valuable are they to a child’s learning experience? A worksheet generally only has a “right” or “wrong” outcome and challenges children at a knowledge level. Often children are not required to engage in original or critical thinking.
An alternative to worksheets are recording sheets. They challenge children to use higher level thinking skills and invite students to share their thinking, illustrations, observations and / or results. They give children a reason to practice math, science and language arts skills and to learn how to value and communicate the new knowledge they’ve gained from their experiences.
