I planned this to be about different weather conditions. Any weather from minor daily weather to servere and extreme could be researched. I used the format from the Writing Great Questions 2 from under the Questioning and Thinking Skills tab and edited. Students are to develop questions about a weather event (rain, snow, tornados, etc.) using this questions guide, and then use the links to find information about their topic. I have this for about a fourth grade level.

I have attached "Writing Equations Task Cards" that I created for my 6th grade students as a strategy for "Learning Centers." I have attached the PDF document (non-editable) and PPT document if you would like to edit them to fit your own classroom needs!

I have created the following tic-tac-toe board for 6th grade student learning about ecosystems and biomes. By: Jason Best

I created this Think-Tac-Toe Board for my 5th graders on the topic of fractions and decimals. The activities mainly relate to converting and multiplying fractions and decimals, as well as finding the equivalent. I have used this in my classroom in the past and refer to links on my classroom page. I included the FunBrain.com link and the Brain Pop links are just the a few of the videos about fractions and decimals. Brain Pop requires a membership, but you could substitute another activity for this if you do not have one.

5th Grade Order Of Operations Tic-Tac-Toe Board



By Katherine Hirschinger

This choice board is one I have created to serve as an assessment of my first grade students understanding of habitats. When the unit is completed, the students are given many options to chose from to demonstrate their understanding of the importance of an animals habitat. Some of the assignments provided on the choice board also give students a chance to work with a partner of choice. This choice board is also a fun way to check for students understanding and gives them accountability of

the assessment they chose to complete. By: Awttan Ismail



The choice board below is one I use weekly in my own classroom! It gives students an opportunity to chose from activities that would benefit their learning styles. The topics covered are spelling, reading, and math. It is also designed like a menu to make it more interesting for the students and it also gives them many opportunities to switch up the activities they choose to do for homework. I change the menu choices monthly and include a science portion after the month of September! This particular one goes along with the Journey's series for the month of September! I hope it helps!

Here is a review game you can use in teaching or reviewing fractions for students. It was originally designed for 3rd grade, but it can be used for any grade that is learning about fractions. Students receive the Equal __[[#|Bingo__]] Sheet. The words to use on the card are listed in the Fraction Definition document. The 1st column listing set of Fractional terms are what students are to place on their cards in any square. The listing of definitions is what the educator will say during the game in any order. Students match the definition stated to the fractional term on their card. The first person to call EQUAL and has a Bingo wins!

=**Capacity, Metric, and Customary Units**= I used this activity for centers in my third grade classroom! By: Maura Atkinson =Learning Center 1~Measurement **Activity By: Jeff Musher**= This activity can be used as part of a warm-up, lesson plan, lesson extension, or even as part of a learning center! My personal favorite way to use it is as part of a learning center when teaching units of measurement in the elementary classroom! My second favorite is to use it as a warm-up activity to get the student’s minds back on track, especially if they are in the older grades!

=__**The Water Cycle RAFT Writing - Caitlin Zurcher**__= This RAFT writing has the students choose a role as a different stage of the water cycle and complete different types of writings for things impacted by that stage of the cycle. I use this near the end of the water cycle unit so the students have enough knowledge on the topic. It can also help you as the teacher to determine if the students have retained the correct information from the unit.

__**Inequalities Learning Center Activity**__- Michelle Koutsourais This learning center activity has students answer a real world inequality question involving basketball. Next, the students will be using cryptic cubes to create inequalities. Each student will take a turn to create an inequality. They will roll three cubes, and one of the cubes is an inequality symbol. After rolling all three cubes, the student will place the inequality symbol cube between the other two cubes. The entire group will write down the inequality and solve it. Each person in the group will create their own inequality. Once all students in the group have created and solved the inequalities, they will discuss the solutions as a group.

**Herbie Helper for Math class- Meghan Weinman (Susi)**

 * Grade 2**
 * This choice board was designed to help a student in Learning Support start a task in Math class and complete it to the best of his ability. It was designed as a game board that can be laminated. A game piece will be used to move from one spot to the next. The student will earn a break after the task is completed. I decided to create this because this particular student has difficulty with following directions and staying motivated in the subject of Math. He loves Herbie, so I think that this would motivate him.**

This choice board gives students the opportunity to explore graphing linear equations in both standard form and slope intercept form. It relates to various learner types and requires the use of the internet. In order to adapt it for your needs you would likely want to edit the textbook options so that it includes the pages where students could complete the activity.

Attached, you can find a sample of a "Homework Menu" that I use for my first graders' weekly homework. Students are given the packet on Monday to complete and turn in by Friday morning. Although much of this example packet is literacy based, I always try to integrate the weekly theme in science or social studies so that students are involved in cross-curricular activities. Feel free to use this format for your own Homework Menus! I've found that, like many choice board activities, the student is empowered by his or her ability to CHOOSE!

This document is a tic tac toe homework option for students learning there multiplication facts. I did not include a fact sheet or area page. I wanted to leave how many problems to include up to the individual teacher and assume that most teachers teaching multiplication have plenty of fact pages. Also for copy right reasons. I do not have any area pages that I made myself, but they are very easy to find online. I did include a copy of the name multiplication completion page and the dice multiplication recording sheet. I hope other teachers are able to find this useful in their classrooms.

This document contains nine activities for students to choose from pertaining to forces of motion. Some of the activities I have used before with my third grade students.

However, this activity could be altered for a different type of student or grade level.

I created this RAFT PowerPoint to expand on a unit that I feel the students understand, but are not challenged in. Motion is something that the 8th graders have heard before, but not really explored. I feel that the RAFT idea is another way for them to expand on this knowledge. I think this is a great way to assess knowledge after completing a lab.

Although I made this one, there are other free templates available online.

These are placed in folders along with any accompanying lab sheets students may need to complete.
