Interactive Learning Situations & Activities

These documents can be consulted on tablets or computers, and of course projects on a whiteboard or screen. Access useful information and examples in just 2 clicks (warm-up, demonstrations, cultural references, chronometers, etc.). Most images on the first pages are links to other document pages within or other online resources. You can easily return to the home page by clicking on the home button at the bottom of each page.
LEARNING SITUATIONS
