The key message I got out of reading this article was that struggle activates parts of the brain that trigger deeper learning.

I will carry out a Maths - Algebra/ patterns/ activity that focuses on group collaboration to give the students a sense of "What it is like to struggle" and hopefully the satisfaction and success that comes with determination, perseverance and collaboration.
