Post-It Notes - Angles in Parallel Lines
<p>An ACTIVITY on Angles in Parallel Lines fluency and extension.</p>
<p>This is a scaffolded, differentiated, engaging and accountable activity that promotes discussion between students while being fun at the same time.</p>
<p>The idea for this activity is borrowed from Rich Walter in this <a href="https://vimeo.com/257896902" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TES video</a> I saw. If you’d like to get an idea of how this works in the class, watching the video would be a good idea.</p>
<p>It takes me 10 minutes to prepare for this activity using the resources in this download though it may take you a little longer the first time.</p>

<strong>Notes from experience:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Post-It notes actually have a<a href="http://palojono.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-peel-post-it-so-it-doesnt-fall.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> proper method</a> to peel them off. Using this method lets them sit nicely on the whiteboard.</li>
<li>If the notes lose their stickyness quickly, place a table or two under the whiteboard to return them to instead.</li>
<li>Keep an eye on the names students are writing.</li>
<li>Keep an eye out for common misconceptions where everyone has written the same incorrect answer, particularly with the challenge and super challenge questions.</li>
