This activity was easy to make since all I had to do was solve the problems either correctly (truth) or incorrect (lie). Students had to separate the cards and justify their reasoning on the card stock. I thought that students would easily catch my errors but, students took their time and slowly examined each card.
I had a total of 7 "truths" and 5 "lies" and this threw some students for a loop because students automatically assumed that there would be an even amount of "truths" and "lies."
If you haven't already tried some error analysis practice, I highly recommend it! It is easy to create since you could use an anonymous student's work or you can write it out yourself.
Here are the blank cards that I used for this activity:
This was a GREAT activity. I used it as a warm-up and it was my first time trying an error analysis activity. The students were very engaged and it was a huge success. Thanks for sharing!!

ReplyDeleteAnd good for you for changing things up on the fly! You must be a great teacher because great teachers are skilled at gauging the needs of their kiddos and adapting in the moment.
