Interactive Learning Strategies by julie Rabson https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a en-us 2023-11-02 17:20:08 UTC 2023-12-05 02:39:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Turn and Talk julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774188199 After asking a question, students will "turn and talk" to discuss what their thoughts and ideas are. After a couple of minutes, the teacher will ask what each pair thought of. Ideas shared do not have to be from the individual sharing.

Students are assigned either Partner A or Partner B. While one student is talking, the other student is writing and following the instructions of the other student. After the allotted time ends, the two switch roles. Both Partners are teaching each other and learning to allow taking turns.


This strategy is beneficial in my 7th grade math classroom because students will go through equations together encouraging each other to follow instructions and remember steps.

Students following steps allows for memorization to occur.

Combing words and visuals encourages memorization in that correlation of words, ideas, or images occurs.

A student may have a way of presenting material that sticks with their peers.

]]> 2023-11-02 17:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774215312 Around the room julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774220520 Around the room is an activity teachers can use to encourage collaboration and paired discussion. Students work together to solve problems posted around the room. The answer to each page is located on another page around the room. This is a fun and engaging activity that encourages all students to participate. Bonus points if it is a competition. In math, it is beneficial because students can work together to solve problems.

]]> 2023-11-02 17:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774220520 Learning Stations julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774223189 Learning stations target specific skills. Students are able to work on each skill in a small group that allows for more tailored learning. Teachers can be strategic with the small groups so learning is even more targetted.

]]> 2023-11-02 17:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774223189 Real world/ Interests julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774228237 Activities including the interests of students boost engagement. In math, real-world scenarios answer the question, "Where will we use this outside of the classroom?". Involving multiple careers in word problems as well as the interests of your students encourages learning.

]]> 2023-11-02 17:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774228237 Technology use julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774232728 The use of technology opens up a whole new world of learning. From distribution of assessments to learning in the classroom, it has made learning for efficient. Students can utilize technology to play interactive games, or to practice basic concepts as home. Technology helps to fill in the gaps as well as to encourage review of current material.


In 7th grade math, Iready scores help teachers to understand where students are lacking basic concepts. Review on the site is tailored to students skill levels.

Scaffolding is essential in problem solving in and outside of the classroom. Students will learn from the teacher but will gradually be left to work independently.

]]> 2023-11-02 18:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774236150 Competitions julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774239994 I encourage healthy competition in my classroom. I want students to be excited to learn. I utilize "trashketball" where the class is split into two. Students work as a team to grab a sticky note posted to the board to bring to me. If the sticky note has the correct answer, thy get to shoot the sticky note into the trashcan to earn more points.

Students write practice questions and important vocabulary words. This is utilized during review at home or in the classroom.

]]> 2023-11-02 18:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774241616 Vocabulary julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774245487 In math, vocabulary is more important than one might think. Vocabulary can help aid in the understanding of problem solving and the steps associated with solving equations.

]]> 2023-11-02 18:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2774245487 Online discussion posts julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2813759153 Students are able to share their thoughts and opinions and receive feedback from others in the class. They are also able to look back at their classmates ideas.

]]> 2023-12-05 02:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2813759153 Debates julieakin16_ https://padlet.com/julieakin16_/9plkroad1gx9vk0a/wish/2813762523 A healthy debate can spark new ideas and the opportunity to share them. This strategy is beneficial because my students are able to communicate and engage to a sometimes heated discussion.


Careful, it may get loud!

A flipped classroom allows for more freedom, collaboration, and practice. You may also use the day to connect concepts.

Students learn concepts from their peers while also having a turn to teach their sub topic.

They are often knock knock jokes or a play on words.

Why not both. When I am teaching a more challenging unit, students deserve a cool down. Students answer the question and a color is connected to each number.
