Instant Data idea:) plus Font Friday

I tried something new today, and I have to say...I was very impressed! 

Last night I graded my students last math test and today I went over it with them. I cut this paper up I made and gave each student a strip.


As we went over each question, I had students color in the square if they had that question wrong. 

Once we were done with the test, I took each strip and taped them to a manilla folder.

INSTANT data!!! I did not have to plug numbers into a computer. I can clearly see that question 9 is one I really need to go over. I plan on the bottom writing the percentages. 

I showed this to my Principal and Instructional Facilitator and they both loved the idea. What do you think?

On another note, I said I would start a Font Friday! Well, it's Friday! I plan on adding these three fonts to my TpT and TN files this weekend.
     
Alright...I am back to the movie with my husband! I have a ton to do and get ready for my trip to Hawaii in a week and a half! I just wish he was going with me:(

    Thanks Ladies. I thought it was such an easy and simple way to get data within minutes. I wish I would have thought about this sooner.

    Tonya,

    That data thing is cool! What an awesome idea! I recently had the kids correct their own work (with me doing examples on the Document Camera), and the Oh's and Duh's were enlightening. I think it helped them see where they made their mistakes much better!

    Thanks for sharing!!

      I used PowerPoint. Just inserted a table with however many boxes I needed For this test it was 25. I didn't make it into a downloadable file for a few reasons...1, because the number of questions on a test can change. And two, it is just a table. I can help you if you need one:)

    Love the idea and plan on using it this year. Thank you for sharing. I may mention too that teachers can place a copy of the test in the folder for next year as a reminder of where more in depth teaching may be worthwhile.

    I think this is wonderful. I wonder how You could do this with more tests without having to constantly using a folder. I am thinking stapling a piece of construction paper on top and gluing the next test on the construction paper. What do you think?

    Such a great idea I'd even add a strip across the top with the question theme i.e %, fractions etc. Thanks!
