⇒ Game of Scoot: There are many variations to the game. Here’s one: Lay cards around the classroom. When the teacher calls ‘scoot’ students pick up a card and write their response on the provided Recording Sheet. Students can only move when ‘scoot’ is called out. If the student does not finish solving the problem on a card, he/she can continue to spend more time on it, but must wait till the teacher calls out ‘scoot’. You can also have this as a silent activity where students move around quietly solving all the task cards without the teacher calling out ‘scoot’. At the culmination of the activity, project the cards on the interactive whiteboard and discuss the answers with the class. Alternatively, place the answer sheet at a Centre for students to self-check.
