Explore the etymology of new words containing base form and base mal. Add morphemes including prefixes such as de-, in- and trans- and suffixes such as -s, -ate and -ion to create new words. Use matrices to build a variety of words with the base form. Reinforce learning with practical games, including a modelling clay activity.
