MATH: Using "Plickers" to Help Review

We have our Unit One math test coming up on Friday. In class today, we used a program called "Plickers" to make reviewing a little more fun. Each student gets a card with a code, and they use these cards to answer multiple choice questions I show up on the screen. To answer a question, they hold their card up, turning it to a specific position to match their individual answer.

Then I use the "Plickers" app to scan all the codes, which gives us real-time data on how the class performed on that question. We can show the results up on the screen as a bar graph, and then help explain why the answer was right.

Here's a picture of me using my phone to scan the code cards.

We'll need to fine-tune our "card-holding" skills a little, but overall, it was a great piece of technology to help us out today!
