Fun Idea for Distance Teaching and Distance Learning

 


I am on a serious mission to make distance learning fun.  What better way to spice it up than with chips!


What I loved most is that students liked the interaction of doing a crafty type of tutorial.  The good news is that it relates to things they should learn, addition facts.



I used card stock paper to make the tortillas.  They started out white.  I colored each one a sunny yellow and added tan, orange, and brown speckles to them to create a realistic look.


The "potato chip" bag is a sheet of copy paper that was folded book style in half.  I colored only the front part of "the book" and glued the bottom and sides of the bag to represent all of splendor of a chip bag.  Last, I wrote a math fact on the front of each chip.  I put the answer on the back of each one.  This is a fun way to review math facts.  We spent 15 minutes of class time making the bags and chips.  Students made any type of chips that they wanted.  They really had a great time.

Digital Task Cards That Self-Grade and Adjust to Student Ability

 




You will love these! These unique task cards are self-grading and adjust to student ability automatically.  I call them SMART task cards.  As students answer these decimal word problems, the questions adjust in difficulty based on student responses. Students that need extra support get questions that are easier and have tutorials in them.  Students that work on level and get most of the questions right but miss a few get on-level questions.  Tutorials are included on many of their SMART task cards too.  Students that get every question correct are moved to more challenging questions that are at a higher complexity level.

Plus, the digital task cards record student scores and send them to you automatically!  This is excellent for distance learning and for traditional learning as well. It is like giving each of your students their own personal tutor.


Several of my products are self-grading.  More are being added every day.  I am also uploading more Self-Grading SMART cards.  These are the cards that self-grade and adjust to student ability.
