"BACON," Continued

I managed to get all the lines on my BACON score sheet locked into place on the Notebook page, so now the students aren't accidently dragging them out of their original spots when moving the cursor on the screen.  I like how the students are giving one another advice as they use the Smart Slate:  "You're almost there, keep moving the cursor!"  "Now tap the pen on the slate!"  "Don't drag the pen across the slate, just hover like a hovercraft!"  This activity has been a good one for getting the students involved with the slate, and giving everyone a few quick turns to practice with it.


For this week's assignment, my plan is to use the pull tabs with a math lesson on rounding whole numbers and decimals.  I'll put the original number in a rectangle attached to a pull tab, and after the students round the number to the given place value, they can pull the tab to check their answers.  I expect to use about five problems per page, with a total of at least twenty-six problems so that each student gets a turn to pull a tab.
