Fill in the gaps with the correct form of the words in brackets.
A group of
(LUCK) 8-10-year-olds has taken part in an
(EXCITE) experiment: to see if replacing
(TRADITION) pencil and paper with hi-tech
(INTERACT) desks would help to
improve their maths skills! 400 students from North East Britain took part in the research project aimed at
classroom
(LEARN) through technology. The new type of desks allowed the
(TEACH) to give math problems to the students to solve solo or as a group. What
was even cooler was that the
(EDUCATE) could
(INTERACTIVE) give
(DIFFER) problems to
(DIFFER)
groups and send one group's answer to another to see if they agreed.
To complete the sentences, we need to fill in the gaps with the correct form of the words in brackets. Let's go step by step:
1. (LUCK)
The missing word is "lucky." We know this because it says "A group of" before the gap. Since "luck" is a noun that refers to good fortune, the adjective form "lucky" is needed here to describe the group.
2. (EXCITE)
The missing word is "exciting." We know this because it says "has taken part in an" before the gap. "Exciting" is the adjective form of "excite" and describes the type of experiment the group of children participated in.
3. (TRADITION)
The missing word is "traditional." We know this because it says "replacing" before the gap and "pencil and paper" after the gap. "Traditional" refers to the typical or conventional method of using a pencil and paper for schoolwork.
4. (INTERACT)
The missing word is "interactive." We know this because it says "with hi-tech" before the gap and "desks" after the gap. The word "interactive" describes the type of desks that were used in the experiment.
5. (LEARN)
The missing word is "learning." We know this because it says "classroom" before the gap and "through technology" after the gap. The phrase "classroom learning" refers to the process of acquiring knowledge and skills in a classroom setting.
6. (TEACH)
The missing word is "teacher." We know this because it says "The new type of desks allowed the" before the gap. The word "teacher" refers to the person who instructs and guides the students in the classroom.
7. (EDUCATE)
The missing word is "educators." We know this because it says "What was even cooler was that the" before the gap. The word "educators" refers to the individuals who educate or teach students in a formal setting.
8. (INTERACTIVE)
The missing word is "interactively." We know this because it says "give" before the gap and "could" after the gap. The word "interactively" describes how the educators gave problems to the students using the hi-tech desks.
9. (DIFFER)
The missing word is "different." We know this because it says "to give" before the gap and "problems" after the gap. The word "different" describes the type of problems that the educators could give to the students.
10. (DIFFER)
The missing word is "different." We know this because it says "to different" before the gap and "groups" after the gap. The word "different" describes the type of groups that the problems were sent to for comparison.
In summary, by filling in the correct forms of the words in brackets, the complete paragraph would be:
A group of lucky 8-10-year-olds has taken part in an exciting experiment: to see if replacing traditional pencil and paper with hi-tech interactive desks would help to improve their maths skills! 400 students from North East Britain took part in the research project aimed at classroom learning through technology. The new type of desks allowed the teacher to give math problems to the students to solve solo or as a group. What was even cooler was that the educators could interactively give different problems to different groups and send one group's answer to another to see if they agreed.
