Kids pay more attention to things they can
hold in their hands. Task cards are more
engaging. Kids enjoy using task cards more and when kids enjoy an activity
more, they learn more and retain more. Task
cards are so versatile. Click here for a list of 20 Ways to Engage Students with Task Cards.
How can I hold
my kids accountable when they are working with task cards?
Require
students to use a recording sheet to keep them accountable for their work. There is a recording sheet included in this
set of free task cards. Students enjoy
being able to choose a card out of numerical order and then find the correct space
for their answer on the recording sheet. I like to put the task cards in a
container and have a rule of three. The
students may choose a card and put it back twice but if they do, they must
complete the third card. Eventually, if
you they will complete all or most of the cards, depending on what you require.
If you don’t want to use a recording sheet, another idea is to have a snap digital
pictures of students’ completed task cards during the transition to your next
activity.
Why are clip
style cards special?
Students
have a chance to develop fine motor skills while they practice addition facts. Students can clip clothespins onto their
answer choices.
They can
also mark their answers with
- · paper clips
- · mini erasers
- · math counters
- · beans
- · any small manipulative that you have on hand.
Laminate the cards and students can circle their answer choices with dry erase
markers. I hope you and your students enjoy these free task cards.
