Erin Steiner used classroom performance system (CPS) clickers to review geometry with her students. During the week, students worked on polygons, angles, and did a picture scavenger hunt around the school. As a review for an assessment, Steiner created a review game using CPS clickers. The students were engaged with learning about geometry through hands-on activities. Steiner found the clickers provided a change of pace for students, allowed for active participation and class discussion, and solidified learning in a fun and motivational way.

2. The Classroom Performance System
I used the CPS clickers to have a
geometry review with my students.
The whole week we worked on
polygons, angles, etc. and after we
did a picture scavenger hunt of
shapes around the school, I made a
review game using this technology.

3. Learning Objective
 Standard 3: Students will describe and analyze attributes of
two-dimensional shapes.
 Objective 1: Describe and compare attributes of two-
dimensional shapes.
 Indicators a-d:
Identify, describe, and classify polygons (e.g., pentagons, hexagons,

octagons).
Identify attributes for classifying triangles (e.g., two equal sides for the

isosceles triangle, three equal sides for the equilateral triangle, right
angle for the right triangle).
Identify attributes for classifying quadrilaterals (e.g., parallel sides for

the parallelogram, right angles for the rectangle, equal sides and right
angles for the square).
Identify right angles in geometric figures, or in appropriate objects, and

determine whether other angles are greater or less than a right angle.

4. GEOMETRY
The students were actually pretty excited to learn
about geometry. We thought that it would be good to
let them experience some hands on activities while
exploring these new ideas.
 Picture Scavenger hunt
 Review for assessment

5. HANDS ON ACTIVITIES ARE FUN!

6. Reflection
 CPS clickers are a change of pace for students
 Something new to use
 No management problems

7. Student use of technology
 Every student had their own clicker.
 Active participation.
 Class Discussion on correct answers.

8. Technology use is essential
 Add-on to the real learning activity, assessment.
 Convenient
 Fun
 Motivational
 Solidifies learning

9. Focus on learning task
 Review geometry
 Know who was struggling with each type of
shape/angle
 Efficient

10. Added value
 This type of review would be harder without
technology…you have to resort to
paper/pencil…that’s no fun!
 Added value is that it is something new and that gets
the students excited about learning
 I was able to see which types of questions/the
content that was harder for the majority of students
and focus on those specifics
