Activity:
Students will demonstrate their mastery of distinguishing the difference between proportional and non-proportional relationships through the interactive game-based Quizizz. The students and teacher will follow these steps:
The teacher will display the game code at the front of the class.
The students will enter their names, which will appear on the screen at the front as they join--no student accounts are needed.
Once everyone has joined, the teacher will need to press the “Start” button on the teacher device, which will then display the name of the Quizizz and a count down from 5 indicating the game is about to start.
Students work as fast as they can to answer multiple-choice style questions on distinguishing the difference between proportional and non-proportional relationships.
The progress of students as they answer questions will be displayed on the live dashboard at the front of the class.
Once the game has ended, the teacher can award the winner with the kudos he/she deserves.
When the final leader board is displayed, every student can see their personal feedback on their device: total points, the number of correct/incorrect questions, and the position in the class they finished in.
On the teacher device, there are options to review questions, see the class accuracy, see the toughest question, the question that took the longest to answer, and interesting facts.
Also on the teacher device, the teacher can choose to download the results of the quiz. This provides a spreadsheet listing each of your students, what they answered each question, and how long it took them. Correct answers are highlighted in green, and incorrect ones in red.
The teacher will use the results to determine whether the students understand how to distinguish the difference between proportional and non-proportional relationships.
Press the "Play Again" button to instantly play the same Quizizz again if further review is needed. Your students’ devices will automatically reset to the start of the game or the teacher can search for a different Quizizz game.
The instructions above are for the game to be played live, so the teacher will need to host a live game in order to get a code and start the game. Share this code with your students in your class so they can join the game.
The teacher can have students set up an account and the teacher and student revisit prior played Quizizz games.
If the students already have a Quizizz account, they will be prompted to log in using their student information.
Take the time to set up a teacher account and play the game yourself before introducing it to your students. Instructions are available on the site.
NAMES - Be sure to set rules for your students when entering their names. If they join with an inappropriate nickname, you can “kick” them out.
Variation Tips (optional):
For students who struggle with this activity, the teacher should provide a work buddy.
