FREE MISC. LESSON - “FREE Metric System Formative Assessment Response Cards”

by UtahRoots
5th - 8th Grade


These metric system formative assessment response cards will make formative assessment during your metrics unit quick, easy, and remarkably thorough and they are incredibly low prep! They’re free, so there’s absolutely no reason to not give them a try. You’ll find that they are the lowest prep but most thorough method of formative assessment you’ve ever used. 

Response cards are a fabulous formative assessment method for many reasons. In any class there are students who typically don’t respond to oral questioning. They might be painfully shy, or fear being wrong, or not speak English well and avoid embarrassment by never participating. So what happens when you ask questions while you are teaching a lesson? You find out what one student knows. Or you find out what the volunteers know. But you don’t find out what everyone knows.

With response cards, every student is required to participate and you will know what every student knows. You will know which students need more help. And you’ll know it the minute you ask the question, without any need to correct dozens of quizzes or homework assignments. You’ll know it while you are still teaching, so you can correct the misunderstandings that same class period. Response cards will save you time and make you a more responsive teacher. 

Just give them a try. This set includes all the abbreviations and topic vocabulary you’ll need for basic metric concepts as well as record keeping forms to help you monitor progress. And if you like them, you might want to try my full set of 124 response cards that will work with any unit you teach. Click here to see them:

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Adapted Holiday Symbols Mini Book for Special Education”

by Autism Classroom Resources-Christine Reeve
Pre-Kindergarten - 3rd Grade


This print-and-go activity is already adapted for students with special needs. This is a set of 2 mini-books for students to assemble and color the holiday symbols. 

I’ve combined Hanukkah and secular Christmas symbols in these mini books. Students follow directions to color the picture. One book has symbol and color cues supporting the directions while the second (identical) book just has words with no symbols. Because of this the first book has 1 piece of color and should be printed in colors while the second book can be printed and copied in black and white. 

Students cut on the solid lines and staple on the vertical lines to bind them. You can use them to talk about the meaning and/or use of each item and its role in the winter festivities it is part of.
