Nine Dots Puzzle
I honey brainteasers. I also honey finding a way to contain them into class. Since the outset calendar week of schoolhouse is rampant amongst schedule changes (especially this twelvemonth since nosotros don't accept a guidance counselor), I aim to engage my students inwards math-y activities that cash inwards one's chips their minds working but don't necessarily necktie into the curriculum.
I've decided to produce daily warm-ups this twelvemonth that students volition proceed inwards their interactive notebooks. School started on Monday, as well as nosotros won't survive setting upwards our notebooks until tomorrow (Thursday). This way that my students needed a house to proceed their warm-ups until notebooks were laid up.
Introducing the Warm-Up Divider!
At first, I wasn't certain what to position on this divider. Then, I realized I could position warm-ups ON the warm-up divider. Can't believe it took me then long to recollect of that!
I did this for both my Algebra 1 classes as well as my Chemistry class. The divider pictured to a higher house is for Chemistry.
On Tuesday, I assigned them ane of my favorite encephalon teasers: the nine dots puzzle. Without lifting your pencil (or dry out erase marker), depict iv straightaway lines that transcend through all nine of the points. Since this ane is a combat tricky, I decided to brand them a dry out erase template that would laissez passer them lots as well as lots of chances to endeavour as well as solve the puzzle. I figured if they had to depict as well as erase equally good many times that they would simply laissez passer up.
Here's what I came upwards with:
When I gave my chemical scientific discipline students the pick to role the dry out erase template yesterday, virtually every small-scale chose to role it! I recollect alone ane pupil went without, but he came inwards slowly anyway. I'm assuming he simply ended upwards copying off of the mortal sitting adjacent to him. :(

Here's what I came upwards with:
Each table's folder had templates inside. Kids simply had to slide the template into ane of our dry erase pockets (affiliate link). If you lot don't accept a set, they are ane of the best investments I accept always made for my classroom. You tin strength out detect them on Amazon super-cheap if you lot search for "shop ticket holders."
