Questions about Singapore teaching

Should I include a subject level for secondary tasks?

Include it when it affects the task, along with your subject and cohort. Keep the syllabus requirements for that class in view.

Is this only for maths?

No. Explore science, language and other teaching tasks as well. The prompts are starting points you can adapt to your subject.

Will one task suit every class?

Review the language, prior learning and challenge. Ask for a change that supports your learners without removing the learning goal.
