https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu What are some effective ways you can utilize Zearn during your math block? en-us 2020-07-07 16:06:12 UTC 2021-10-12 02:47:42 UTC hello@padlet.com https://imgglb.padletcdn.com/v13/image?t=g_auto&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpadlet.net%2Ficons%2Fpng%2F1f4a1.png 2017857 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1779419315 I like to use Zearn for independent math times for when students aren't in small group with me. What works best for my students is doing grade level whole group, then small group or Zearn (30 min small group and 30 min Zearn daily). I use Zearn to support what they are working on in small group and tend to adjust levels to match their personal level. It is great to use as a WIN (What I Need) time in math.]]> 2021-09-29 21:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1779419315 2009338_2 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1779659576 We like to teach a whole group lesson, then we break into smaller groups for either Independent Zearn time or additional support for those who need it from the main lesson. After 30 minutes we switch and the students in small group go to Zearn and the students who were on Zearn work on independent work at their level or get additional help to clarify questions from their Zearn time. I can check this through the Zearn reports.]]> 2021-09-30 00:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1779659576 hlc09933 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1782453379 In our class, we plan to use Zearn as an independent math station. On Zearn, students will work individually and at their own pace on skills they may need more reinforcement with. These skills that they are working on will help strengthen their skills with the grade level content we also cover in our other small group stations. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1782453379 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1782751895 My students are already using Zearn. However, learning about the different reports will help be assist my students in areas that they need help. I knew a little already, but had little understanding. I can now target struggles for me students by knowing what to look for. Zearn is great because it gives the students practice and reinforces what they have learn and I am able to check their understanding when they are working independently. I also like the new zearn part so that I can add intervention. I can also change their assignments.]]> 2021-10-01 00:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1782751895 2012512_2 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1785218508 In my class, we use Zearn every day. We use it as an independent center. During my math block, I do a mini lesson and then split my class into two groups. One half will work with me while the other half are on Zearn working independently for 20 minutes and then I will switch groups. The students work at their own pace while working on Zearn. At the end, I show the pace report so the students can see how many lessons they completed. Everyone has a goal of completing 4 or more lessons by Friday. ]]> 2021-10-01 22:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1785218508 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1786593989 I don't have my own classes but if I did I think that this is a great way to help students who missed prerequisite skills or that you want to advance if the rest of the class isn't ready to move]]> 2021-10-03 01:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1786593989 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1787427406 An effective way I plan on using Zearn is to have my students feel more comfortable doing independent work. They can receive immediate feedback to see if they understand a concept or not rather than just solely from me. I can also use it as a reference when teaching a lesson to students as well. ]]> 2021-10-03 14:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1787427406 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1789191298 An effective way that I use zearn is to allow students to work on it while I meet with small groups. I use the 50/50 model to teach lessons. I open my lesson whole group to pose a problem or introduce a concept. Then I take a group of students to work through the problem set while the other group is on zearn, then switch. I finish my lesson with an exit ticket. I also use the data in zearn to inform my instruction such as if there are common misunderstandings, I will pull a group of students to reteach those concepts. ]]> 2021-10-04 10:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1789191298 1448260 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1790950433 2021-10-04 22:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1790950433 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1791008947 2021-10-04 22:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1791008947 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1791187812 In my classroom, Zearn is used daily. I teach the mini lesson to the whole group. We do a brief fluency activity and application problem as a whole group as well. We then split into two groups for about 30 minutes each. While students are with me we work through the problem set in order to clear up any misconceptions. The other group is working on Zearn and then we switch. At the end of the lesson we take 5 minutes to complete the exit ticket. The exit tickets are given a quick 0, +1 or +2 so the next day I can address any misconceptions either individually or as a group. On Fridays, I check Zearn workbooks and if students have completed their 4 lessons for the week, they can play math games or prodigy while the others get individualized assistance or complete any remaining lessons. During the week students move their clips up our Zearn chart so they can keep track of their progress.]]> 2021-10-05 00:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1791187812 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1791226325 I have a group of students that are very low in my 2nd grade class. I have introduced Zearn. For that group, I have some of the students working on a lower level to reinforce number sense, recognizing numbers and adding to 10. I can pull this group and work with them on the similar concepts. After looking at the reports, I am able to have students fill in the gaps of learning material that they do not remember. I use Zearn to build upon so students are able to complete larger number addition and subtraction problems ]]> 2021-10-05 00:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1791226325 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794367869 We use Zearn during our math block as our independent practice. Once our math centers are up and running, Zearn will be one of them. Because many of our students are below grade level, we have adjusted their Zearn level if we notice they are at a higher level because of over-supportive parents during remote learning. By ensuring that their Zearn level is correct and the are not frustrated, we can continue our grade level teaching during our whole group time and use Zearn to fill in some of the gaps that have occurred due to unfinished learning.]]> 2021-10-05 20:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794367869 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794438884 We use Zearn in our classroom daily. We use it during our small group instruction. When my co-teacher and I are working with a small group the other students are working on Zearn. Students hand in completed exit tickets and they know that they need to complete 4 lessons a week. We use the feedback from the exit tickets to drive our instruction. Often in the morning, we will use this time to address some issues that we saw in the reports and on the exit tickets. ]]> 2021-10-05 21:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794438884 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794465218 We use Zearn on a daily basis for independent work while we pull students to remediate instruction. We look daily at the reports to see who is struggling and what interventions are needed at that time.]]> 2021-10-05 21:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794465218 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794473317 An effective way I plan to use Zearn is in a small 30 minute math station. I can assign the current concept I am teaching to give the students additional time to practice the skill on a daily basis. It will also be used during their independent time to work on other areas in need of improvement. I want my students to love math and not hate it.]]> 2021-10-05 21:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794473317 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794723352 Zearn looks a little different in the kindergarten classroom. I use it as a practice of the skills we are learning in the classroom. They will work on zearn during small group math time. I like to create a visual for the students to see the progress they are making in the program. It helps encourage those reluctant learners as well]]> 2021-10-06 00:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794723352 2009348 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794737218 I would use Zearn to help in conducting centers/rotations. Group students with like skill needs and have them work on the skills and rotate to me before they work so that I can preteach them the skill that they are working on or work with them after to review and conclude what they worked on to check for understanding.]]> 2021-10-06 00:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794737218 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794901668 2021-10-06 01:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794901668 2012789 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794915534 Each day I teach the small group lessons to two separate groups; my low/middle and middle/high group. While one group works with me, the other is on Zearn, then we switch. This way the students get the lesson twice from two different sources. I find this to be a great way to reinforce the learning we are doing whole group.

This provides an opportunity to keep group sizes small while having kids work independently on math concepts with guided instruction. We will then use the information given to provide additional support to students that are struggling with completing lessons independently with Zearn, and provide additional support accordingly. ]]> 2021-10-06 01:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794926089 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794977291 Each day, I divide my class into two groups. One group works independently on the digital lesson. The other group works with me on a mini-lesson and completes some problems on the problem set page. After about 20-30 minutes, I switch groups. Depending on student progress, digital lessons are adjusted to meet the needs of students. I have just learned about the bookmark foundational lesson feature. I've assigned students some bookmark foundational lessons. I look forward to seeing student responses.]]> 2021-10-06 01:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1794977291 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1795033775 My classroom looks very different from others that I see posting. I have an ASD 6:1:4 first grade class. My students have significant delays and will require adult support while working on Zearn. Once we get our ipads, I do plan on using Zearn during math centers.  Although I would love for my students to do the work independently, this will have to be facilitated by an adult based on their individual needs.  ]]> 2021-10-06 02:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1795033775 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1795055853 I would use Zearn to reinforce lessons in a station rotation.]]> 2021-10-06 02:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1795055853 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1796427852 2021-10-06 13:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1796427852 2015261_2 https://padlet.com/1298120/1qavfqrjo6emdaqu/wish/1797725512 I see Zearn being used everyday in the 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms that I work in and support.
