Article

Are you a new teacher? Alloprof’s mission is to be a partner in academic success for students, parents and teachers. In this article, discover an overview of our best resources. They’re free and designed to help you plan, find inspiration… and save time!

Games and Exercises

Un aperçu des jeux d'Alloprof.

Alloprof has developed a few simple, fun games and exercises to help students review concepts covered in class! They’re a great way to build a motivating homework routine or liven up review sessions in the classroom.

Here are two of our favourite games:

  • Speedy Rabbit, to become a math operations champion
  • Book of Spells, to spark a love of reading in English or French as a second language

Concept Sheets

Alloprof’s library of concept sheets is at the heart of our resources. It works a bit like a huge virtual textbook! It brings together thousands of pages covering concepts from most subjects in the Québec Education Program, from Elementary 1 to Secondary 5. Most sheets include definitions, summaries, examples, illustrations, videos and exercises.

The sheets are useful for both you and your students. Among other things, you can use them to:

  • pinpoint the concepts to teach;
  • prepare a lesson or an assessment;
  • support your students with their homework and studying;
  • review by reading a sheet or doing an exercise as a class.
Did you know?

Some concept sheets now include a read-aloud tool to make learning more accessible for younger students and for students who struggle with reading or have weaker literacy skills. This feature is especially useful concept sheets in English as a second language, where students can hear the correct pronunciation of vocabulary words!

Learning Activities, LESs and Printable Posters

Alloprof has designed many learning activities and learning and evaluation situations (LESs) that are ready to print and use in class, in almost every subject and for every grade. Each one usually targets a key concept in the program and was created by qualified teachers to make sure it aligns with the Ministère’s programs.

Alloprof has also created several posters to decorate your classroom and help students learn essential concepts. Feel free to hand them out to students as handy reminders.

Videos and Crash Lessons

Alloprof’s website is packed with explanatory videos that make concepts easier to understand through examples, demonstrations and tips, all in simple, engaging language. On our YouTube channel, they’re grouped into playlists by grade and subject, so they’re easy to find.

For end-of-chapter review, try our Crash Courses, which are our interactive videos! What makes them special is that they ask questions during viewing, which helps students review and reinforce what they’ve learned.

Videos can be used in many ways. You can use them in a flipped classroom. For example, your students watch them at home so you can spend class time on questions, review and hands-on work. You can also project them on the board to support your teaching of a concept.
