Read It – Write It – Stick It
2 Stripes
The stripe is a great formative assessment of a skill recently taught. It allows the teacher to monitor while students get up and interact with their peers.
- The students are to read a card that practices the skill being assessed.
- They then write the answer to their card on their answer paper.
- They apply special glue (lightly lick) the back of their card and stick it to their forehead.
- The students walk around examining other student’s problems while writing the answer on their paper.
- After all are finished, review the answers with the students for a quick assessment of the mastery of the skill taught.
Example: Simplifying Fractions 4/8 + 1/?
