How I learn best

I learn best by doing worksheets, teachers writing stuff on the board and having conversions.

You may see me talking to my friend or not concentrating on my work, this means I am bored, don’t want to do the work or I am finished.

I like it if I am stuck. My teacher can sit next to me and explain it so I understand better.
