WHAT ARE SELF-CHECKING TASK CARDS?

Self-Checking Task Cards list a problem to solve as with traditional task cards.

However, Self-Checking Task Cards then provide a complete step-by-step worked out solution for students to self-check after they have worked through the problem.

No more copying Answer Sheets!

WHY SELF-CHECKING TASK CARDS?

SCAFFOLD and DIFFERENTIATE

  • Students know immediately that they “get it” and scaffold on to harder problems. No more making the same mistake over and over! Students see exactly where their solution differs from the correct step-by-step solution and they adjust for the next problem.

  • Students model the detailed self-checking solution to independently learn or reteach themselves.

  • Students master specific skills at their own pace.

MORE EFFICIENT FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

  • Students work and self-assess independently thus freeing you to remediate with individual students.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS REQUIRED (not included with Resource):

Paper and pencil or dry erase board and marker

You can make a “dry erase board” by slipping a piece of paper into a plastic page protector sleeve. Use a dry erase maker and wipe off with tissue or cloth.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
