Kahoot

Kahoot has certainly transformed the way that I teach. It is great because it is such a fun way to do a formative assessment. This week, our big math concept was learning the Distributive Property. Needless to say, the students were just confused after the first day. It was reflected in their scores which hovered at 9 or 11 correct out of the 23 questions.

 What I love about Kahoot is that I can randomize the question order and the answers so there really is no way that they can just "memorize" the right answer.

 This week, I had questions quizzing them on the commutative property (they get it!) and several different types of distributive property questions. I did team mode last time so that the kids could problem solve with each other. Today is Wednesday so we did it individually...

There are definitely some that are getting it! Last week at the end of the Commutative property Kahoot, there were 2 students who had a perfect score. (They get bonus points for how fast they answer too)

Its nice because the kids ask to do it. Its a fun way for them to continue to review them. We stop and explain the answer after every slide. I let the students choose a nickname as long as they have their initial in there so we can tell who it is. Black Panther was popular today.
