Getting involved • Mini whiteboards - (games, competition) • Fingers to show which answer linked to a flipchart millionaire • Randometer • Cards • No hands up (phone a friend, 50 50, ask the audience) • Further questions, with holding judgements “Is that correct?” – basketball questions • Question cards • Students lead the review • Road to success and parking lot
This is a discussion tool to use with students Yellow – check the students know what they are learning Have they got the learning objective (use throughout the lesson) Green– link to the big picture. Where is the purpose? Red– where can this be used else where? Apply this skill or knowledge to other topic areas. Blue – Move the symbols to focus on the learning methods used. Extend to get students to think about what they haven’t first considered Harlequin

Careful questions placed in the cube can promote discussion and recap the learning from the lesson. Easy to differentiate the questions too. Examples Used in Technology to match the symbols for recycling to names and descriptions Used in Maths to make whole class games more exciting Used in English to learn literature quotes. Who said ...., quote something by the character you have thrown etc Used in Humanities to recap Fact or Opinion So far we have given out over 20 cubes to be used in all curriculum areas. The CUBE
Mini review: Why have we learnt it? How have we learnt it? How can we use it? What have we learnt?
