Thank you so much for all you do!<br /><br />I just noticed that you referenced Stella's Stunners in this post made some time ago. I've been trying to pull up the library of Stella's Stunners but the site seems to have lost funding.

I also have them begin with listing the learning target for the day at the beginning. There is a due date and time preset by me. I am able to evaluate answers digital and give comments and help with misconceptions and give positive comments. by viewing digitally it helps me see trends of misconceptions .

I think I was lucky in that most of my students wanted to work the problem and see if they were right. Of course, some students would just wait and copy their neighbor's answer... :( <br /><br />I don't grade the warm-ups. And, I try to never spend more than 3-4 minutes of class on them.

I am working on my plans and what I need to change for next year, and the warm-ups were a really big challenge in my classroom. We had pre-made warm-ups, enough to use every day. Some of them were spiral review kind of questions, some of them were questions to get them ready to learn the new material, etc. All of the warm-ups had 4 questions... they were really useful and well thought-out warm-ups, but sometimes it took students too long (15 minutes to answer all questions), then it took too long to go over all of the problems, and most of the students would just wait until I would go over the problems and copy that down. I asked other teachers, but no one really had much advice to give me... what is your advice? Do you grade students on the warm-ups? If so, how do you grade them? If you don't grade them, how do you get the students to do them everyday?<br />Thanks for sharing all of your awesome work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-62918886460019971432014-08-19T19:08:40.254-05:002014-08-19T19:08:40.254-05:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Sarah Carter (@mathequalslove)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11839095945000612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-22681986838286948122014-08-19T07:27:57.705-05:002014-08-19T07:27:57.705-05:00Thank you for sharing!!Thank you for sharing!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-5616806158460829562014-08-07T21:28:50.495-05:002014-08-07T21:28:50.495-05:00I got to experience plickers at TMC14.

I can't imagine doing it with six or seven classes.<br /><br />I intend to make my exit tickets a little easier to grade. The grades will not be recorded in the gradebook, but I do like to show the class how well they did. If there is no recorded grade, students tend to not give it any effort. I had some students flat out refuse to do them (and I didn't know how to handle that)...so made the grades count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-74776716479153827702012-08-17T22:49:28.096-05:002012-08-17T22:49:28.096-05:00Sarah - I've updated my blog post to include y...Sarah - I've updated my blog post to include your amazing link.

But, I'm not assigning daily homework problems, so I need a way to check how my students are doing on a daily basis. <br /><br />I don't plan on grading them. So, I think I'm just going to look through them at the end of each day, make notes about who gets what / needs extra help / etc. And, then I'm going to toss them. <br /><br />I do have really small class sizes which should help. When I figure out a system that works, I'll definitely be posting about it.
