Love this! Amazing how competitive students come when formatively assessing in this way.

My kids love Quizziz! One of the teachers at our school introduced me to it a couple of months ago. This really is a great resource…a win-win for both students and teachers.

Thank you this really helps!

The Gradual Release of Responsibility Framework.
