Today I would like to share a classroom activity which I call Math in Motion.  This activity provides a rich opportunity for formative assessment, differentiation, practice, and instruction.  See the video below as well as the links to download the math in motion pages.  I hope this idea will become a powerful practice in your classroom!

 

 

 

 The math in motion templates can be downloaded here.

    I love this idea! Thanks for sharing, and for the resources. Quick question — how do you have students indicate whether their answer #8, for example, is the blue or green #8 (if they are allowed to mix and match)?

    Great post Steve,
    It can even be extended into literacy ideas perhaps with developing characters, plot, idea or using them as writing prompts where students chose a number of cards and develop a narrative. Will be directing my workshop participants to your site. Thanks for sharing your awesome idea!

      Jo, I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are discussing extending this into literacy. I was thinking through that very concept, and am happy that you pinned it down with some specific ideas and examples. That is an excellent idea and I would love to hear about any experiences that you have with it.
