Many students are often unfocused during this time since they are looking forward to having no school, but this is such a creative way to keep students engaged while reviewing over recent material. The dry erase packets are such a good idea for easy, reusable materials. I also value that you challenge the students to show work to find the x-intercept if it was not visible on the graph. Great thinking with using the Sharpie instead of the stamp – good quick fix. I think the tracking sheets are a great piece of formative assessment, but my only concern is the cooperative teamwork. Maybe next time students have to all initial the completed challenge to show that they all agree with the answer and “lock it in?” The negative points was a good challenge for the students, and I definitely agree with making it worth more next time. Overall, I thought this was an excellent activity, and, like many people have commented before me, one that can be changed to match any time in the school year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-88912327934559742342016-12-01T19:55:34.121-06:002016-12-01T19:55:34.121-06:00Love this idea!

I played this with my class but called it "Turkeys in the Coop" and printed clip art of "live" turkeys. <br /><br />One thing I had trouble with was scoring. I ended up just revealing the scores at the end of class and letting the students tally up their own points. What do you do for scoring?LeeAnn Hammettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-13245041204936626802016-11-28T02:16:31.497-06:002016-11-28T02:16:31.497-06:00Hi Sarah!

I read the original post and I am confused with how points are tallied up/how a winner is chosen (#9 on the original post). Do you multiply the number of turkeys in each oven with the assigned point value and whichever oven has the greatest points wins? So all students in that particular oven win? Thanks for the clarification and amazing inspiration, as always!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240890175874730109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-79749392374153310072016-11-25T16:24:57.871-06:002016-11-25T16:24:57.871-06:00Hope your students enjoy it as much as mine!

I told them they could do the questions in any order they liked and I divided the main whiteboard into quadrants. They showed me their completed questions and then they were allowed to write their names in a quadrant of their choice. It was seriously the best revision lesson I have EVER had as the students were collaborating, working efficiently and I was able to give them quick feedback if they had missed a step in their working out or missed the concept completely.
