Building Thinking Classrooms Cheat Sheet & Helpful Links
This sheet is your go-to for some common BTC terms and what they mean as well as some links to find other tasks or a community of teachers trying BTC too! The link to the slides is on the first, second, and third pages!
Task Directions and Thin Slicing Ideas
This page includes what you will need, how to present the task and some pictures of student work
3 Levels of Check Your Understanding Recording Sheets
Check your understanding should be choice driven, so let your students choose the level they would like to work on mild, medium, or spicy!
Color-Coded Partner Task Cards
These cards are for groups of 2 or 3, if they get the same color object, they are in the same group! You can also randomize digitally using a tool like a classroom screen, but just starting out, my students preferred to pick their own cards. (If you just want the cards, get them here!)
This is what I go over in the video!
In the video, I show you how I presented this Building Thinking Classrooms task to my students and tips to personalize this task by adding your own Bitmoji!
Get it here and let me know how your students like it!
