Formative Assessment Strategies-My favorite No
Assign a warm-up problem or two. Hand out index cards to the students. Have students write their answer on the index card and collect. Look though the answers and place them into two piles. Yes/No as being correct or incorrect. Choose your favorite no and discuss with the class on why it it your favorite. Talk about all the things that were done correctly. You can continue the discussion with students analyzing what is right and also what is wrong.
This can be used in any classroom. The following video a math teacher explaings how he uses this strategy. My favorite no.
I'm thankful!
Word, Phrase, Sentence. This is a link of the activity we started in team meetings last week. It shows how the strategy can be used in a classroom.
