With my classes, I also scaffold by filling in select words for some students or giving them the first letter. This is very helpful and students are still able to face challenge with a shot at succe

Have you ever played "War" with a deck of cards? The game is simple. Two (to three) split a deck of cards evenly and each member holds his or her cards face down as to conceal them. Members flip the top card simultaneously and the person with the highest card value wins. Play until one member remains and has all the cards - this person is the winner! Just like "War," students can play Fraction War applying the same rules. In this deck, there are 52 cards representing (mostly) fractions, tw
