Using weekly Kahoot seems to be highly beneficial, since I incorporate all lessons we've covered during the week. And an intrinsic sense of competition impels my kids to assimilate lesson's rules/concepts much more efficiently.

CFU Week 1

2025-12-02 18:39:02 UTC

Students used whiteboards to identify intervals (the distance between two pitches). This gave me a quick glance to see who understood the concept of intervals and if the students were able to identify the motion of up or down and the specifics of a minor second versus major seconds. This supported week 2's activity: exit tickets.

Using this strategy also allowed me quickly see who understood the concept. If I saw students who appeared to not understand, I paused and explained without calling them out individually. I corrected errors in real time and we continued practicing. By the end, 70% of students were able to identify the intervals correctly.

CFU Week 2

2025-12-02 19:32:15 UTC

I utilized TeachersPayTeachers and found exit tickets that focused on piano intervals. I was reteaching this strategy and as students were turning in their exit tickets, I would have a mini-conference with each one to re-explain the concept and allow them to make corrections. Not all students made the correct adjustments, the class average on this was 66%.

CFU Week 3

2025-12-02 19:35:33 UTC

I used a different page from the TeachersPayTeachers resource I posted in CFU Week 2. Weeks 1 and 2, I pre-taught and re-taught the concept of minor and major second intervals (the distance between two pitches that are a step apart). For week 3, I wanted to check for understanding with minimal re-teaching of the concept. We reviewed the concept with whiteboards and my only comments were "some people got that one right" and "more people got that right." I did not explain or make corrections though. The class average was 84%.
