I love to have competitions in my classroom and Padlet walls make them easy to do virtually. If you are in person you can also do this. Last year, we had a gingerbread man competition this way. The students drew, created, baked, or somehow came up with a gingerbread man. I learned a lot about my students during these competitions, one of my students is an amazing artist and we could see her drawings this way, some of my students loved to bake and we were able to see their creations. The video will show you how to use the padlet wall set up.
After the voting ended, I had them prove it was their creation. This allowed them to show off their work while also letting the post be anonymous so no one voted based on who they liked.
If your school is doing SEL(social, emotional, learning) padlets are a great way for kids to express themselves without others knowing who said it.
I was making a long division worksheet for my students in Google Docs when I realized that it wasn't under equations. Here's how to insert it. This does not look very pretty so I have another video on how I do it in Google Sheets which takes longer but looks nicer.
This template is set for 3 sets of answers. I have the answers that are currently set, you will need to reformat them to use with your content. Baby Yoda Pixel Art Template Be on the lookout for this activity given 2 ordered pairs and asking for slope, y-intercept, and the equation of a line. I'm also formatting this for converting between percents, decimals, and fractions. If you want to reformat it before I post the above activities here is how.
Gimkit came out with a new mode almost a week ago and the students love it. It's called Don't Look Down. In this mode, students work to reach the 6 different summits. Along the way they jump on various objects and test their skills. This game can teach you about your risk takers and your cautious students. If you want to add extra excitement, play with your students to see who gets higher. This is currently the favorite mode for my classes and I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't.
