The website "The Percent Progress Game" offers an interactive tool to enhance students' estimation skills and number sense. In this game, players estimate the percentage of a gray bar that has been shaded green, with their score reflecting the accuracy of their guesses--the closer the estimate to the actual percentage, the better the score. After ten rounds, a final score is presented, encouraging improvement in estimation abilities.

Use the game to prepare for more advanced topics, like proportional reasoning. Sharpen mental math and estimation skills as part of broader mathematical problem-solving exercises.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Bell Ringers for Improved Retention and Engagement shares the value of Bell Ringers. Bell Ringers engage students in short assignments and/or assessments, review key concepts that were previously taught, spark classroom discussion, and identify misconceptions and misunderstandings. Bell Ringers should help the information sink in; therefore, activities should engage students in new, unusual, or unexpected ways. The webpage also shares an infographic with more information, examples of Bell Ringer activities, and a YouTube video about entry tickets.
