15 Tips for Lining Up Your Class

Advice from Real Teachers

Do you need some creative ways to line up your students? If so, don't miss the most recent post in the Advice from Real Teachers Question Connection series. These questions come from Facebook fans and my posts are a compilation of the best responses. You can read 15 Tips for Lining Up Your Class on Corkboard Connections. Enjoy!

Area & Perimeter Tic-Tac-Toss

Do your students need practice determining the difference between area and perimeter? Here's a fun partner game that will give them lots of practice in a short time. It's called Area & Perimeter Tic-Tac-Toss and on each play, students draw a task card and flip a coin to learn whether they have to find the area or perimeter of the figure on the card. This is a brand new item in my TpT store and it's half off through the 10 pm EST today (Sunday). I also created QR Codes to print on the backs of the task cards. Need a metric variation? I'm working on a set of metric task cards and QR codes today and I should have those ready to add to the pack soon.

QR Codes Instead of Answer Keys - Motivating

and Fun!

Maybe you've seen teacher products that include QR codes and wondered why and how you would use QR codes in the classroom. You can find out in my recent Corkboard Connections article, Out with Answer Keys - In with QR Codes. I've recently started creating QR codes for some of my task card products and games. You can find those resources on my Task Card Pinterest board or here.

Team Scoot - A
Fun Cooperative Learning Variation

Are you familiar with the traditional game Scoot in which students "scoot" from desk to desk to respond to questions on task cards? I put a little twist on this game to make it more interactive and involve students in higher level thinking and discussion. Read Team Scoot - a New Twist on an Old Favorite for details!
