Choose an answer

Once a week, the teacher asks, “Who knows which shape is a triangle?” The teacher then records the names of students who raise their hands, selecting a different shape each week and monitoring responses.
At the end of the school year, the children take an online quiz with auditory directions such as, “Can you find the triangle? Click on the triangle now.” The teacher then reviews the resulting data.
On a daily basis, the teacher asks, “Can you draw a triangle and turn it into an animal?” The teacher then retains student drawings for a portfolio, offering different prompts for creativity each time such as fruits or toys.
Periodically, the teacher directs students to, “Draw a triangle on your paper.” The teacher then asks each child to explain what makes the shape a triangle, noting responses and alternating shapes.
