Chunking
Information is more easily processed if it is presented in points or “chunks”.
This means breaking an instruction down into shorter, simpler steps.
For example, instead of saying...
“Everyone, get out your maths books and turn to page 35. Read pages 35 to 40 then answer the questions on the last page. When you’re finished bring your books to me and choose an activity from the board.”
Try breaking the information into steps...
“First, get out your maths books.”
“Now turn to page 35.”
“Read pages 35 to 40”
“Finally, answer the questions on the last page”
