I ask those students to create a new question or a numerical which they think could be challenging to their classmates and then ask them to pose the same to the class. Most of the time i have found that this not only motivates them to work but also prevents them from doing some distracting and disturbing activities in the class

wonderful idea I think I am going to do the same sheets in my class It is really a hard mission to keep them quiet after they finish their tasks

I have made a 100 page book of math sheets that are of a pirate theme. They are very tricky but easy enough for a bright, quick student to do.

Wow! I like the idea of making such list. What I do for my classes is to select some picture books around. Students are free to read when they finished assignments early in class. I should think about making it more productive...

I went to a teaching seminar and the teachers teaching it had a list of assignments for the children to do when they finished their work. The children I don't believe were told these were optional but they were listed with all their other assignments. Things like 1. Draw 3" 5" and 1" lines. 2. Copy the color words and draw a triangle of that color beside the word. 3. Write a line of each tch wh and ch. 4. Draw a picture of you helping a parent. 5. Write Exodus 20:12. What I would like are some suggestions of all kids of learning activities so I could list a few everyday for my students.
