Chances are you have a few sets (or maybe stashes) of task cards in your classroom, some of which haven’t been used in years. You’ve most likely used them for small group instruction, but task cards aren’t just for small groups! They are an extremely versatile resource that can be used in many ways.

In this week’s episode, I share 5 of my favorite ways to use and repurpose task cards to help you get the most out of these resources. I share ideas for choice boards, partner activities to pair them with, and how to use them with cooperative learning structures. In addition, I explain how to use them in your whole group instruction and within a Google Form assessment.

This week’s Teaching Tip of the Week is a request from my Instagram Stories on how to scaffold and differentiate small group questions on multiplying decimals.
