What I love about quizlet is that it's engaging and competitive which the kids love! What I don't like is that, the kids end up memorizing terms and/or definitions and I worry about how much they actually retain. As long as the classroom management piece is in tact and teachers explain their expectations, this is a great tool for quick fun review! The images I'm going to show below are from a set about simplifying expressions.
With the same set of cards, you can study them and just use them as flashcards but you can also test yourself, play a matching game, play a game where you "keep asteroids away from planets" and then there is quizlet live! Where you work in teams to get the correct answers.
This is a matching game where you have to match the question or the term to the answer. The answers disappear as you get them right.
Students use the code to log-in and quizlet randomly assigns groups of four. The groups have to work together and if they get one wrong, they have to start the whole game over. The goal is to finish all the questions before the other teams.
With four students playing, the game separates the kids into pairs and they have to move to sit together. The code is always posted in case students get kicked out.
On the board, I post this screen so teams can see who is in the lead.
The two partners have all possible answers split between them so you have to work together to get the right answer.
The questions are the same (among the same team) but only one member of the group has the answer shown. If a group member chooses a wrong answer, the whole group has to start back at zero.
This is the home screen. You can organize your quizlet account into units and classes. You can search pre-made sets or create your own.
