This past school year I taught a geometry class for sophomores. I've taught geometry many times previously, but not since pre-pandemic times. My classes this year had a lot of personality and energy, but we still needed a way to practice the basics and for the kids to get feedback as they went. After all, there is only one of me!
My solution was to create a "Marking Diagrams in Geometry circuit". What is a circuit? It's sort of like a scavenger hunt but all on paper at their desk. Students begin with question #1. They solve that problem and then look for the answer on their worksheet. When they find the answer to question #1, they label that problem #2 and so on. The answer to the last problem leads them back to #1. I let the kids work in partners so they can discuss as they go. Plus they know if their answer is incorrect because they won't be able to find it. It allowed me to check in with the students who were really struggling while the others received feedback directly from the worksheet.
