What: One bag of plastic balls per class

How to use: Have students pick up one plastic ball at the beginning of class. You can then use them to randomly ask questions. For example: if you have a green #1 ball, here is your question. You can also use the colors to sort the students for group activity – Students with yellow balls will work at this table, while students with red balls will work at that table.

• To show work with math equations, chemical interactions, student creative expression, and more!

2 sets available

What:  A table stand with sets of response decks used to encourage student responses in class using faculty-preselected response cards.

How to use: 

Step 1- Stands and decks chosen for the class are placed on the students’ desks.

Step 2 - Students discuss appropriate responses, and when the students have selected an answer, the student/team indicates by “clipping” the clothespin to the ring on the top of the stand. (This step helps decrease the likelihood that students will choose a response based on what others around them are selecting and showing).

Step 3 - Once all students have indicated they have arrived at an answer, the instructor will signify it is time to post their selection. All students/groups simultaneously show their responses, and the instructor processes the answers as a discussion or moves to the next question.
