Day 24, Steve Baker-4th Grade Math

21st Century Test Review


Reviewing for tests is pretty commonplace in most classrooms.  The teacher usually asks the students questions and a few of them answer the questions and share with the whole class.  While those students are answering, most other students are partially listening but usually not very involved. 


In 4th grade we decided to try and make it more engaging for everyone.  We had a QR Code Scavenger Hunt to review for our science test.  Different QR codes were hung around the room.  Once scanned on a student’s personal device, it took them  to an information source.  These included websites, pictures, articles, and videos.  The students used the information gathered to answer questions on their study guide.  The students worked in cooperative groups to discuss the best way to answer each question.  When complete, they shared what they learned with the rest of the class to make sure everyone had the best, complete answer and understanding of the material.

Here are some responses from the some of the students:

What I liked: I liked how we got to go around the room and scan QR codes to find facts, pictures, and songs!- Trevor

On number four they played a song that helped you answer one of the questions! This was the best scavenger hunt ever!-Reese

It was so awesome and I hope we do it for every review we do!-Maddie

In Mr. Baker’s class we scanned QR codes that gave us information about science and learning about molecules and measurement.  I LOVE the cool things we did in our class!- Kylie

That was LEGIT!- Robert
