Activity created based on student's interest.

After my students had fun with the marble run so I tried to search up marble activities to support my Maths lessons.
I found some ideas from Pinterest then I made a few for my students.
We started with a 1:1session (student: staff). The students sat well and
attended this activity.
Our learning goal was to: Recognise numbers and make a set of marbles.
Four students out of 6 responded when prompted by staff.
These four students sat and engaged in this activity for up to ( 3-5 minutes)
in a 1:1 teaching situation. Two students needed more prompts to be
able to respond. (Jay and Dayten) Jay did not want to engage in this
activity. He preferred to watch from a distance but he was interested
in the activity. Dayten took longer to respond to the instructions.
I managed to get him to the table following numerous prompts.
Dayten sat and completed the activity for up to 2 minutes without trying
to escape. He also asked to do more instead of asking to finish.
This was the highlight of the day. I also noticed that all my students were
happy to engage and completed the learning target set for them
before they lost their interests.
