I trace a student body on paper(like for covering bulletin boards). Glue onto the body about 15-20 math problems with answers showing your work. Do about 5 of them incorrectly. I call this activity Surgery. Students work in teams to find the 5 that I did incorrectly and put correct answers on bandaids.

Teacher Tip: Put letters beside problems for easy checking.

Tip: I make 5 bodies for a class of 20 students.

My firsties love I have. Who has, Kahoot, Blooket, and working problems together on whiteboards. I try to vary review choices throughout each chapter.

I also like Quizlet Live. The app puts students into teams of 4. Each student can see the question, but they may not have the correct answer on their screen. It may be on a teammate's screen. This encourages communication. Also, if they miss a question, they have to start over again.

I create interactive review games that I project on the board using Canva or PowerPoint. It engages the whole class while allowing each student to work individually on their own game board. For example, in my detective game, students solve addition and subtraction problems to unlock clues and figure out who stole the president’s briefcase. The kids love it!

I like to practice problems using white boards or work mats. I noticed that my students like to use dry erase markers to show their work. I also like for students to come up with their own problems. This lets me know that they really understand how to solve a problem.
