  Case: Daily Warm up
Mrs. Kelly is having a difficult time getting her 7th grade math students to complete their daily warm ups. During warm up time, Mrs. Kelly is taking attendance and checking for homework completion so she cannot monitor the students while they are completing the warm up. At the end of the week, she collects the warm up sheet for a grade; however, she notices that the students are just simply writing the answer down and not showing their work. How can she make sure the students are actually completing the warm up and not just writing the answer down when she goes over it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Kelly could have her students put their pencils in the floor before she goes over the answers. She could also have students trade papers with someone sitting next to them while she is going over the warmup.

Comments: I love the idea of putting the pencils on the floor; however, what about the students who really tried the warm up and didn't get the correct answer? How would they make corrections to the problem without a pencil? I also like the idea of exchanging papers with a peer.

Comments: I agree with this statement because peer grading is helpful and can be useful in this situation. I would re-remind everyone to please make sure they are showing their work otherwise they will not get full credit.

Comments: I think this is great. We traded papers with someone seated next to us when I was in school. That person graded using a colored pencil
