As part of classroom procedures, students will be completing a warm-up activity to start most classes. The warm-up will reinforce past material as well as introduce students to new topics. I also like to use the warm-up as a way to gauge how the students are feeling about the class, the school, their teachers, their surroundings, and many other subjects. Warm-up is a good way to get the class off to a organized and calm beginning. Warm-up will be collected and graded as a quiz or homework assignment on a frequent basis. I do not look for every answer to be 100% correct, I simply want the students to answer the drill using higher level thinking. Drill #1: How do you go about finding the square root of a number?
