Who needs a worksheet when you can have a GRAB BAG?!?!
Thanks to the parallel thinking my EC inclusion teacher, the wonderful Ms. BriAnne Church, and I have we no longer need to put together a review worksheet with EOC problems on it!
Instead, we created a worksheet with the problems we wanted on it, cut it into problem strips, folded the strips, and put them into a paper bag. Who knew it could be so easy?!? Now, nistead of our kids sitting there doing a boring 24 question worksheet, they will be putting their hand into the brown paper bag to summon up a question to complete. Just makes it more fun, don't ya think?!?
Now, the kicker... we secretly placed 4 colored stickers on 4 of the problems in each bag. When they pick out a color they get a prize and BAM, the fun is now doubled!
So, if you think you'd like to try this, go for it! And if you want this already made with an answer key, head on over to my TpT page and pick up mine! Cyber Monday/Tuesday sale is happening NOW!!
What a great idea. I teach remedial math on the college level, and my focus activities usually are done in groups with a review of what we learned the previous time we met. However, I might give this a try! My college students love getting candy which might be the prize.
ReplyDeleteI hope that this works well with your college kids. I know that when I tutored the remedial college math students that they would have loved to get candy for their efforts in a class that is particularly hard for them! I hope that you get a chance to do something like this and that it goes swimmingly for you!
