Introduction
Sometimes pupils have problems with negative numbers or with the different properties of the operations with integer numbers. Using that quiz pupils can practice at different levels of difficulty, and they can self-correct and see where they have more problems.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the learner will be able to:
- Define integers as positive and negative whole numbers and zero.
- Differentiate between positive and negative numbers.
- Recognize the number line as a visual representation of integers.
- Explore patterns in the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers.
How Does It Work
Teacher post in google classroom a link with different exercises and a deadline of one week. The exercises can be personalized and at different levels, so all the exercises can fill the differences between children.
Pupils can work in their houses with the exercises, and they can do it as many times as they want. The goal is to see the mistakes and try to not repeat and improve every time they do.
Before the deadline, pupils must make a screen capture and post in google classroom for evaluation. Teacher will see in google classroom how many pupils did the job, their results, and their mistakes, and decide to put the focus on the most common mistakes and prepare another quiz.
Why Is It A Good Practice?
The activities initiate the development of:
- critical thinking
- creativity
- communication
Digital tools provide an interactive learning environment that engages students and makes the learning process more enjoyable. The use of visuals, animations, and interactive activities can capture students’ attention and motivate them to actively participate in the learning process.
Assessment
The use of digital tools to validate acquired knowledge provides rapid feedback for both pupils and the teacher.
Students have one week to complete every quiz.
They have to upload a screen capture of their results in the educational platform.
The evaluation is not quantitative (from 0 to 10). Teacher evaluate qualitative results seeing if the quiz was worked to have few errors.
The students think that it is a more visual and understandable way of working.
Inclusion
The exercises can be personalized and at different levels, so all the exercises can fill the differences between children.
