Day 5... Welcome Back!
As a warm up today, students were given 6 post it notes to answer 6 questions around the room. This is definitely on the keeper list for first day activities! !!
What a great idea!! Are the post-its color-coded to the class period? How long did the activity take? How do you plan to do use the results for yourself or your students? Love to see a write-up in the Math4Monday sometime :)
Yes. I bought packs of small post-its from Dollar Tree. I have 4 hours, so each hour has a color. I used this as a warmup activity on Day 1, so it took maybe 10 minutes total? For me, it was more about information, but this is definitely an activity I would use again for a more formal idea.
There were 6 questions total: Qualities of a Good Teacher Qualities of a Good Student My goal this year is... This will be my BEST year of math because... I learn best when.. Mrs. T can help me most by...
