What is an “I CAN” game?

It is literally a can that contains a variety of “test like” questions. Each question comes in multiple-choice format or short response format (you pick the format that fits your needs). Both sets of cards (multiple choice & short answer) come with and without QR codes. It is up to you if you want to incorporate them into your classroom!

Why Teachers Love Them!

☺ There are a variety of question types for each standard.

☺ It is easy to differentiate when EVERY question comes in multiple-choice format AND short-answer format.

☺ Students are engaged by the game and enjoy playing.

☺ They are simple to put together.

☺ It's easy to incorporate technology with the QR codes.

☺ Progress Monitoring is made simple with the included "progress monitoring checklist" in each game.

☺ They are such a versatile tool and can be used in so many different ways!

HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE!!!

As a Group Game:

Place this “I Can” game out as one of your math centers. In groups of 2 or more, students can play this game against one another by seeing who can collect the most cards. To collect a card, students must answer the question correctly. If they check their answer and it is incorrect, another player can attempt to answer the question correctly and keep the card for themselves. If a student pulls an “I Can” card, they can add this to their pile of cards as a bonus, and pull another card to solve.

***ANSWER KEYS INCLUDED!!!

As Independent Practice:

A student will pull a card from the can and solve it. They will record their answers on the “My Answers” sheet. When they are finished, they can check their answers using the answer key. It is a good idea to offer a reward/incentive for completing the set of cards, and mastering a certain percentage.

As a Progress Monitoring Tool:

When students complete this activity independently, have them keep track of their progress using the “Checklist” provided. You can then use this checklist to see if the student has mastered the focus skill. You can also use this information to help you determine if, and in what area, further instruction is needed.

So glad I found this resource! The problems are thought provoking! I am a retired teacher using them with a student I tutor. I cut the problems a part. She picks 2 for the day and we solve them. If it is correct, she gets a sticker on the answer key, and I plan to give her a math game as a reward for each ten she solves. Thank you for problems that take some thought to solve.
