Scoot Activity – A student favorite is definitely SCOOT. Take a class period
and have the students “play” SCOOT with the questions. To do this, simply
place a task card on each desk. Have the students rotate (at your signal)
around the desks until they have answered all of the questions. Give the
students enough time to read the question and answer it before having
them rotate.
Around the Room – This option is probably my favorite way to use the
questions. Tape the questions around the room and have the students work
in pairs or triads to answer the questions. You can rotate the students at
your signal or allow them to move around freely. If you allow them to move
around freely, I recommend having a rule that no more than one pair/triad
of students can be at a card at a time. I use “around the room” reviews
and activities throughout the year so using the reflection questions for this
also allows me to teach procedures and expectations for this type of work.
©Jennifer Findley
1-2 Questions a Day – Have your students reflect and share their thoughts
on math during that first week of school. You could have your students
discuss their answers with groups or partners (they love this and it doubles
as a brain break) or have them record their thoughts.
Center or Station – Use the task card version and place the questions at a
center. Have the students answer the questions on the included recording
sheet (or a piece of paper) or simply discuss their answers with their groups.

The next two printables are color-by-answers - one that
reviews a few 3rd grade skills and one that reviews a few 4th
grade skills. The pictures are the same, so only choose the
one that works best for your students.
To complete the printables, the students will solve each
equation in the table. They will then choose the answer from
the choices in the table. The answer they choose is assigned
a color. They will color the number (assigned to the problem
or equation) using the color that matches the correct answer.
Tips:
For accountability and to make sure the students don’t just
guess the correct color (only a possibility on a couple of the
numbers), make sure the students show their work on the back
of the paper or on a separate piece of paper.
©Jennifer Findley
Another option is to have them get their answers (and work)
checked by you (or a partner) and then color in their picture.

Around the Room Math
For this activity, prep the problems by printing one set, cutting the
problems out (one single cut through the middle), and taping the
problems around the room.
Place your students in pairs (recommended) or triads.
Place the students at their starting locations, and have them use the
recording sheets or pieces of paper to record their work.
You can have the students move around at their pace or at your
signal.
Depending on how fast your students work and how long your math
block is, this may take two days for the students to complete all of the
problems.
©Jennifer Findley
Tips:
• If you have the students move at their pace, I recommend having a
rule that no more than one or two pairs can be at a problem at a
time. For any students who finish early, I check their work and send
them back to any that they missed to double check.
• If you move the students at your signal, I recommend giving the
students time at the end to go back and finish any problems they
did not complete.
