Either way, yes, it is a ton of work.<br /><br />Ms. CookieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-55620974582077167602009-09-02T07:33:23.142-05:002009-09-02T07:33:23.142-05:00I really like the idea of the scrambled answer ban...I really like the idea of the scrambled answer bank at the bottom of the worksheet. But creating your own problems when their tons available in books? Seems like you are recreating the wheel.

I think the immediate feedback is so important when you are just starting to learn a new concept. I do all my own worksheets for algebra I also. I like to design my own assignments with stuff I know they need more of. I also like to include one or 2 review and 1 or two TAKS along with the new material. I try to make their assignments no more than 20 minutes and I give them about 10 minutes to get started in class so I can make sure they are on the right track.Kim Hugheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765229714690518433noreply@blogger.com
