Students have a choice between the scaffolded (to elicit the desired response) and blank sectioned. An answer key is provided to have students independently check their answers. Prior to having students work on the cards, work-out similar sample questions on the board to familiarize students with the question types. ********************************************************************** SUGGESTED USE → Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students) → Math Centres → Early Finishers → Morning Work → Warm-up/Tuning in Activity ********************************************************************** ⇒ 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’.
