Instructional Ideas

  1. As part of a classroom routine in math or English, teachers can project a Question of the Day from this app to start class. Students will have to answer the question. After all students have had an opportunity to answer it, teachers can call on one or more students and ask them to explain why they chose the answer they did.
  2. After students become familiar with the question format used by this app, teachers can have students write their own questions using an Office app that model the ones found in this app. Students can then email their questions to their teacher, and the teacher can use them to create a practice SAT quiz.
  3. For a review, teachers can have students answer 5-10 questions in a specific category (e.g., reading, writing, or math) and then analyze their performance. Questions to guide their analysis include: (1) Were the questions easy or challenging? What made you feel that way? (2) Did you understand the explanations for each of the questions? (3) If you scored lower than you would have liked, what can you do to improve your score? Students can compose their responses using an Office app and email it to their teacher.
  4. Teachers can assign pairs of students a question to complete and then present. In preparation, students will have to solve the problem and explain how they solved it to their classmates. For math problems, students will have to present the steps they took to solve the problem. For reading or writing problems, students will have to explain how they rationalized the correct answer. Teachers can have 1-3 pairs of students present each day until all pairs have presented.
