Instead of answering problems on a worksheet, write or print out questions on notecards or cardstock. Laminate and put in a center with dry-erase markers and erasers. (Be sure to include any manipulatives the students might need in the center.)
Store or file your cards in a small box divided into sections such as Addition, Measurement, Estimating, etc. Switch out your cards as needed.
You can use this activity for any kind of question: basic operations, fractions, number lines, geometry, problem solving - whatever!
To really get your students thinking, use a multi-step, open-ended question and encourage them to work together to find several different answers to the problem. Be sure to include manipulatives!
Have you tried this activity before? What did you think?
