IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for THE ELECTION!


It's about time for the Presidential Election in the U.S.  My favorite way to teach election vocabulary is with ELECTION HINK PINKS, et al.  These word riddles help children learn to problem solve while exercising vocabulary skills (definitions, synonyms, parts of speech, rimes, ...).  These task cards prompt learners to interpret datamake inferencesdraw conclusions, and analyze new information. Here's a sample:


These Hink Pink puzzles are ideal for upper elementary and middle school classes.

IT'S ABOUT TIME for VOCABULARY FRACTIONS!


 

What, you may ask, are VOCABULARY FRACTIONS? They are task cards that challenge your learners' critical thinking skills, proficiency with fractions, and fluency with content specific vocabulary. But, your students will just think they are fun.

The task gradually increases in difficult, transitioning from 2 part clues with words and pictures to as many as 5 part clues with just pictures. In their quest to solve the riddle, pupils must deduce the correct word and its spelling. Solving equivalent fractions provides even more challenge.


Who needs VOCABULARY FRACTIONS?

    • intermediate students
    • enrichment students
    • G/T learners
    • small group learners needing extra practice on fractions
    • fast finishers
    • digital learners
    • classes with a substitute teacher


Try them before you buy them!
