I Have, Who Has?-
If you are not familiar with this activity, it is a class activity where one
student starts the process and, in turn, each student answers a question and
then asks a new question until the person who asked the first question answers
the last one. It’s one big loop!
My favorite set is a set I found at a math conference that
had four problems on one card. That gave me four chances to use the same set of
cards. The operations on the cards were basic, but that gave me the opportunity
to use it several times throughout the year. I even used it as a transition to
another activity or as a brain break between subjects. The students absolutely
loved the activity and would ask for it often. When I challenged them to see how fast they could complete the loop, it became even more popular!
Since my students loved the activity so much, I started
including it on their math menus. Student-created card sets are usually
challenging and can be designed for many different skills. It also makes for a
great fast finisher activity.
Want to get started now? Check out my “I Have, Who Has:
Monster Operations” card set at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. It includes four multi-step problems on each card. See the preview below.
I also included a picture of a set of student-created cards as an example for you. See the photo below. Enjoy!
