Hi Tiffany,

I am so glad that this website has been helpful!

Those are great questions!

Is the foldable printed for each student or do you have them copy it down, solve and then hand in to you on paper?

Students put all of their notes for Math in an interactive notebook (composition book). Unfortunately, our Chromebooks are not touchscreen so I still want them to take notes by hand. The right side is for their notes. If they run out of space, they can add a page extension for more room. The left side is for the foldable – this is their practice problems. I always print the foldables out for them in advance. If they are absent, they can copy it down from the website. These foldables stay in the notebook but the student and I can check whether they got the problem right on EdPuzzle.

Is this homework a nightly, weekly, or unit based homework hand in?

Depends. Usually, I do no more than two sets of notes per week.

How often do you check notes from homework to place your students in groups?

These notes are due at the end of a two week period which is followed by a short mastery quiz.

Also, how do you apply homework credit in your grade book?

I have two grades – INB Notes & Lesson Practice. The INB Notes are based on the Cornell Note Process. Taking the notes is only half of the credit, they also have to add questions and a summary. Lesson Practice is also a grade and this is their “skills practice”. They get two grades for this – a grade for their work and a grade for the number of problems they got correct.

Do you use both the work they give you, group checking for understanding, and/or Edpuzzle?

I mainly check the work that they give me. EdPuzzle is just to help sort them into groups for support.

I think it might answer a lot of your questions! Feel free to reach out at meagan.elaine.kelly@gmail.com for more questions. 🙂

I was hoping you could explain in more detail how you implement your whole homework process. Is the foldabe printed for each student or do you have them copy it down, solve and then hand in to you on paper? Is this homework a nightly, weekly, or unit based homework hand in? How often do you check notes from homework to place your students in groups? Also, how do you apply homework credit in your grade book? Do you use both the work they give you, group checking for understanding, and/or Edpuzzle?

Thank you in advance for any insight you provide, as I strive to find a better structure and flow for the homework aspect of flipping. I am very much obliged!

Wow! Awesome resources! Thanks for sharing!

I’m going to send them your resources 🙂

Such a good question and it is one I am asked frequently. At this point, I have a lot of material built for my Math 7/8 course so not as much time as I did in the beginning.

When I started flipping the classroom, it would take me a 2-3 hours to build each lesson because I would create the Google Slide and foldable, then record over the Google Slide, upload to EdPuzzle, and input questions. It was definitely a long process but I have received a lot of positive feedback from students and parents.
