• Bored with Maths / enervated by behaviour issues
• Yearning for more variety / creativity
• New plan based around five-lesson fortnight

  2-week focus
• Identify 3 varied lessons
• Fourth lesson for consolidation, including
  laptops
• Fifth lesson is a test and a quiz
• After one term, behaviour definitely better
• Formula beginning to wear thin
