Additional Purpose(s):
Overview:
Quick images can be used to show number or spatial concepts.
Procedure:
For dot cards, 10 frames or pattern shapes, the flow of the routine is:
- The teacher projects the image for two to three seconds with learners trying to make sense of what they saw.
- Learners then sketch what they think they saw.
- Teacher projects the image once again for one to two seconds.
- Learners make any adjustments that they think they should make to their original drawing.
- Teacher projects the image permanently and asks learners to volunteer how they knew what to draw.
Variations:
Images can be copied on cardstock cards on a ring, which can then be used during transitions such as waiting to enter the gym or library, and children can orally tell what they noticed in the image.
