Bell Ringers

Bell Ringers, Brain Warm Ups, Flashback...whatever you like to call them, we all have one. Those little activities we have students begin the moment they walk in the door that serve several purposes: to engage them immediately (crowd control), review the material they have been working on and to serve as an informal assessment. These activities usually show where we have been, where we are and indicate where we might need to go, in a very neat little package.

I have worked on a formatted sheet to put a week’s worth on one sheet or two weeks if you use double-sided copies.
So, let's say that we use math flashbacks for week this week. The answer sheet might look something like this:


However, if you wanted it to be a 4.0 score and end it on Thursday to be entered as a grade on Friday, I can make you one for that as well.
