\nPoke cards are a tool my students have been using for awhile now in math centers, and if you haven’t tried them, you should! Their self-checking format kind of reminds me of Hot Dots cards if you’re familiar with those. It’s engaging, works great with partners, and students can be completely independent (while having fun!).<\/p>\n

\nHow Poke Cards Work<\/h4>\n

Students choose a poke card and solve the problem. They “poke” the right answer with a pencil, coffer stirrer, cupcake pick, magic wand, ect. In this image we are using a cupcake pick, I believe, that has snow inside that you can shake!<\/p>\n

\nThen, if alone, students check the back of the card to see if their poker went through the right hole. If they’re with a partner, the partner will check for them.<\/p>\n

This week we have been practicing multi-digit multiplication, so I made some winter multiplication poke cards<\/a> for them to practice that.<\/p>\n

Students worked out the problem on the card with white boards (although I have included recording sheets, too).<\/p>\n

They poked the right answer.<\/p>\n

\nThey showed their card to a friend to check for them.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nIf they were correct, they got a chance to try to make a basket with our mini basketball hoop. (Which they love and have broken. But they fixed it themselves, so I guess I’ll forgive them. :P)<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nSo if you’d like to give poke cards a try or even if you have already, I just uploaded a new freebie called Snail Patterns<\/a>. It’s aligned with common core standard 4.OA.C.5, and I think it should be a lot of fun for upper elementary kiddos.<\/p>\n

\n\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I also just recently bundled up ALL of my upper elementary poke resources<\/a>. You’ll find review on fractions, math facts, multiplication, elapsed time, angles, coordinate graphing, and a lot more! With over 1,500 cards, your students will be poking all year! (Just hopefully not each other! Dull points, teachers, dull points.) Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\"Upper<\/a><\/div>\n

\nSo I hope you enjoy the poke freebie! Let me know what you think! Happy teaching!<\/p>\n
