"SPEAKİNG PENCİLS" after the WEEKENDS..

 It's a good activity for the first lesson of the week.

Today I tried an activity with my 9-B graders in math lesson.,

 I want to share it because it worked well and you may want to use it for your classes with small changes.

• I prepared 4 diffrent big pages (preferable poster size) with 4 diffrent questions (chosen from "WEEKEND HOMEWORK") written on them. Then I randomly separated students into 4 groups. 

• Each groups met in front of one page. They started to answer the questions when I said "START". 

• They continued writing for 2 minutes. Then they moved for the other questions. 

• They visited all the stations. 8 minutes later the activity finished when I "STOP"ed them.

With this activity I aimed;

•  to evaluated our new students "homework responsibilities"
• to make a "group work" to provide new students to contact each other.
• to revise the previous math lesson
• to start to a new week with an enjoyable and useful activity.

Maybe we can break a prejudice towards mathematics... I believe...
