offers us her awesome Entrance Slips and Exit Slips Bundle.

I'm a great fan of Meg's work and love all her products!!

Here's what she says about this resource:

"Exit and entrance slips are designed to help you "take the temperature" of your class in terms of student learning and attitudes to help you as you plan your instruction. It does no one any good to find out at the end of a unit that your students haven't learned all the material. That's why I started using quick learning checks such as these--I wanted to see where my class stood at each point along their learning journey!

They can be used to check understanding on academic content OR to get a read on student attitudes and comfort levels and I use them in a couple of ways:

...to see if there are any students with major misconceptions

...to see if the entire class is missing understanding and I need to reteach

...to sort my students into groups for instruction"

And finally blogger # 15 is me :)

One of my favorite resources is my Open-ended Math Project bundle. It contains four projects that will challenge your students to think outside the box and solve some real-life problems using their Math skills. My class love these projects and we do a couple a term now. This pack includes:

Perimeter Farm (use perimeter to build pens for farm animals)

Fantastic Aquarium (set up a fish aquarium using knowledge of money)

Chocolate Choice (fill chocolate boxes with specific weights of chocolates)

Leprechaun Gold (plan a party for the leprechauns with a limited budget)
