Display the first ‘Solve It!’ slide in presentation mode and have the students record their answers. You can choose to complete the questions together or have the students complete them on their own.
When you come to a SHUFFLE slide, the students follow the instructions on the slide. These are quick and simple activities that get the students up and moving! Then they sit back down to prepare for the next question.

A complete set of instructions and some suggested answers are included in the download.
