Yesterday we went to a cafe and I tried to get my student interested in search patterns which look like this
[a-b]+.[^xyz]*
He wasn’t too interested but showed more interest than in mathematics. I decided to print off some naplan papers and get him to do them. Also, I thought about finding the public service entrance examination for some English speaking country like Canada, New Zealand, Australia, or the (dis-) United Kingdom.
Also, what about logic quizes and those match-stick puzzles where you have to take away 3 match-sticks to make 4 squares?
