How Teachers Can Use the Octopus Method in Class

The Octopus Method is not only for private study. In the classroom, it can provide a clear structure for week-by-week KCSE preparation.

Start each topic by mapping past-paper questions to specific lessons. During class, work through one or two questions together, then assign similar items from the same 'tentacle' as homework.

Over the term, your students will see the same core ideas in multiple forms, across different years and contexts. This repetition with variation builds deep familiarity without feeling repetitive.
