Math in Motion (Video and PDFs)
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!

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)?
OMG, I love this idea on so many levels!!! Cannot wait to try and then share!!!
Excellent! You are motivating me to write more posts! Thank you for this feedback. Enjoy the activity. You will learn an amazing amount of information about where your students are at in their learning.
Also, thank you for sharing it! Let’s keep these good ideas moving around!
Thanks for these great ideas! I will be able to use this idea in my classroom this week! Can’t wait to try it!!! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! I would love to hear how it goes, Kendra!
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.
Great post, Steve! Can’t wait to give this a try. :). I’m really enjoying your blog!
Thanks, Stephanie! It’s great to hear from you! I hope you are doing well. Thanks, again for the blog feedback. I’ll be posting more when I find time.
