Read It – Write It – Stick It

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/?
