2.work online with clickers and smart board games to continue practicing.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1.Ask easy to hard questions and allow everyone an opportunity to answer.
2.Have one person answer and then ask the other to raise their hand if they agree or don't agree.
3. Create easier or more difficult questions for them to answer and collect data on
 

F. Checking for understanding-
