This allows kids who are already strong in a topic to not have to do a lot of practice (while also being challenged with harder problems) and it gives kids who need the practice a chance to work on more problems. These kids will also build confidence as they get more and more correct. Such a great idea! I am going to share your idea in our Facebook group Visual Math (and I hope you may want to join!) -ShanaScaffoldedMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991099683629425350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969821499728229660.post-26600854223907126072018-08-15T20:43:00.699-04:002018-08-15T20:43:00.699-04:00This year I am going to start choice board (a ppt/...This year I am going to start choice board (a ppt/ G-slides grid with different ways to check student understanding). Some will be must do's and others are may do's by a specific checkpoint. However I like your pennant idea also. <br />A proven method that I have used a number of times is a sports themed skill sheet I called "Gimme 20". This consists of tiered problems from a worksheet that I copy in large print and post around the room with varied point values from 2-5. The goal is for students to get 20 points, but however they can get them (i.e. as few as 4 five point problems or as most as 10 two point problems). This gives me great knowledge on what a student is comfortable and capable of completing in a given amount of time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248146033739763297noreply@blogger.com
