1. Assign worksheet for homework. 2. The next day, collect worksheets & redistribute randomly to other classmates. 3. Give students 5 minutes to silently study the student's paper they were given. 4. Each student will be given 60-90 seconds to stand up and introduce the person they were randomly assigned. They are to tell everything they can about that person based on their paper. Challenge the students to practice higher level thinking + observations/inferences. For example, if the paper a student received is very neat & organized, they can infer that the student took his/her time and has good work ethic. If the paper is sloppy & only half complete, the student can infer that he/she rushed through the work or didn't try very hard.

cc5 resource for standard specific skill practice sheets

I am a big fan of StudyLadder. Many of our teachers in elementary and the middle school are utilizing this excellent resource. It is a multi-subject interactive site that allows you to differentiate for all levels of students through grade six. With the ability to import entire class lists, you can set up individualized, interactive work for your students. What I especially appreciate about this site is the color coded leveling. While teachers are shown which color represents which grade level, the students are not. In addition, StudyLadder is Common Core aligned.
