(So if they walk to card #14, they will write their answer for that problem in box #14.)<\/li>\n<li>After giving students a few minutes to solve the problem, the teacher yells &ldquo;Scoot&rdquo; to signal students to rotate to a new spot.<\/li>\n<li>NOTE: You may want to plan out the direction and path of the rotation before beginning, but you can also simply have them walk randomly to a new spot.<\/li>\n<li>The activity continues until students have traveled to each of the 28 cards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, you don&rsquo;t have to use all 28. &nbsp;You can use only the number of students in your classroom if it is less, but we have found that having a few extra helps with the flow of a Scoot game.<\/p>\n<p>Students can travel to a free card if the one they are headed to becomes occupied before they get there. &nbsp;If you have more than 28 students, they can either double up at a card if needed or you can direct them to check their work for a few minutes if all the spots are taken.<\/p>\n<p>An answer key is provided for easy grading purposes or if you want &nbsp;your students to self-check.<\/p>\n<p>Many teachers use Scoot games as a review for an assessment, so students can check their answers to determine if they need additional practice or support before the assessment.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to use only specific cards as Task cards, we have also provided four different Task Card Recording pages with 6, 8, 9 and 12 boxes.<\/p>\n<p>You can use these pages to assign specific&nbsp;numbers of tasks or even specific card numbers to particular students.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">****&nbsp;<\/span>You will find all 28 cards and the recording pages described above here:&nbsp;<strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><a style=\"color: #339966;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner456.com\/wp-content\/pdf\/math\/fractions\/GCFscoot.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greatest Common Factor Scoot<\/a>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">****<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Greatest Common Factor&nbsp;Scoot game can be used during your math class for practice or review.
