Personal Financial Literacy: Define Taxes

Bell Ringer:

We are continuing to review our math STAAR benchmark using Kahoot.

Lesson Frame:


Lesson:

Today, we worked with defining taxes using the above resource and Kahoot.  

I have begun using Kahoots  more in my classroom (1) because the kids love it and (2) I have figured out a way to make all kids feel successful.

First, I had students open their math journal to the vocabulary pages on the four kinds of taxes.  Then, as we were playing the Kahoot, although I had set a 90 second timer, students were not allowed to put in their answer until I said so.  That way, slower students had the opportunity to think about the answer without the stress of others always being faster and/or correct.  I know that this worked, because one of my SpEd kids WON the round for their class!  This never happened when we played the other way!

Assignment:  Countdown to STAAR 5.1.4
