When you enter the upper grades, students start to become more independent and show autonomy in their learning - this is exactly what Hot Dots does! Hot Dots are a resource where students can practice their math skills on their own. Students are given a pen that will let them know if they have the answer correct answer or if they need to try again. I want to teach my students that learning can be done without being told every step of what needs to be done, that you are able to self correct and teach yourself. The independence that will come with these Hot Dots will give my higher level students what they have been craving while I work with the lower level students. They can be an activity to reinforce skills, a confidence booster when they continuously get green while practicing the skill, and a good activity for fast finishers.
