Review classes can be challenging for both teachers and students. Teachers worry about classroom management and engagement; students worry about doing well on the exam but don’t always make the best use of class time. Some students believe that completing a worksheet is the ideal review, however, they often only complete a few questions. Review day is an opportunity for students to learn and refine their understanding. Working in groups provides students opportunities to problem solve together while connecting topics and building confidence.
In this session, teachers will move around the room and participate in hands on activities such as row games, matching and puzzles. Teachers will come away with innovative ideas and resources. We will share activities that teachers may use with their students as well as provide information to assist teachers in creating their own. Although we will be using specific examples from our high school classrooms, many of these activities could be used in other divisions. Come ready to have fun with math!
