Ideas for the Classroom
===Use a lesson activity as a 5-minute review (beginning of the period)/ warm-up. Assign lessons to refresh prior knowledge before starting a new unit. Assign lessons to acquire mastery of certain math skills. For student self-assessment (bronze - meets expectation, silver - above expectation, gold - mastery). Serve as students' tools for review for a written summative assessment. ===
