Kate Nowak at f(t) shared some of her thoughts about worksheets a few months back. As she says: there are good worksheets and bad worksheets. The good ones make you think. The good ones give you feedback so it is self correcting. The good ones are focused: you spend a lot of time thinking about one situation, rather than a little time thinking about a lot of different situations. Go look at her post on what makes a good worksheet. One nice thing about self-checking work is that it puts the emphasis on the process rather than the answer.

Another thing you can do self-checking-ness with is games. In particular row games. Kate describes row games better than I do, go read her description. She also shared a bunch of her row games. I’m going steal one for us to do in class, but the whole set are cool to look through.
