What are some (possibly quiet) activities/ideas I can give them? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Advice I was given is to make sure not to always make these activities fun because then others students will rush through their work because they would like to participate. Also keep in mind you will always have those students that will never get to engage in these activities. Therefore some great activities would be pentominoes activities, silent reading with a goal, the game poison, give them challenging problems to solve such as "You have a balance scale, a big lump of clay, and two weights: 50 gm and 20 gm. How can you make a 15 gm lump of clay?".                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original No Comments: There is nothing wrong in making the activities fun. As long as the students are completing the work quickly and correctly, they should be rewarded for their efforts. Having them check their work with you before they go is an option.
