Below are a list of content elaborations that have been paired with the relevant TT tasks. The highlighted elaborations are taken straight from the BC curriculum. When you click on a task, you will be directed to the specific task video and the task idea.
The names of the tasks begin either with a “z-” to designate Zaplify or with a “g-” to designate Grasplify. Some tasks have the “©” and “®” symbols next to them. The tasks with a “©” have connections to cultural heritage and the tasks with an “®” have connections to other resources, such as manipulatives or word problems. These connections are can be found in the TT Task Booklet.
