Beginnings and Beyond

All teachers know that warm-ups and exit tickets are important (and in some schools, they are a vital piece of a teacher evaluation) and are a quick way to access student knowledge. BUT, do your students get tired of and bored with the same kind? And do you dread creating and grading endless, sometimes tedious, sheets of paper (often with no name?)

Introducing…”Beginnings and Beyond,” quick assessments in Google Sheets that your students will actually enjoy doing. Not only are they SELF-CHECKING but your students won’t remember they are practicing important concepts because they will actually enjoy the activity.

• Mazes: Not only are the mazes aligned to curriculum standards, they are SELF-CHECKING and engaging.
• Puzzles: Each time your student answers a question, a piece of a mystery image will reveal. If they get an answer wrong, they will know immediately since this puzzle is self-checking. When they get all answers correct, a math joke/pun will be revealed.

Suggestions for Use

• Warm Ups or Exit Tickets
• Assign half the activity as a warm-up and the other half as an exit ticket or mix it up a little!
• How about some healthy competition? Who can complete the maze first?

However you choose to use these products, get ready to assess without stress. They are available for 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades!
