Warm-ups
Warm-ups Warm-ups are used as a tool for students to acclamate themselves to the subject that is being presented in class. These are provided on the board and are expected to be completed when class begins on a daily basis. Most of my quiz and test questions are taken directly from the warm-ups, so this activity could also be used as a study guide for quizzes and tests. I will be providing a spiral notebook for every student and it will be kept in their binder for daily use.
