Diamond Paper

When students are given worksheets with a series of almost identical questions to work through, they miss opportunities to strengthen their brains. A better practice is to take a small number of questions and approach them in different ways. The diamond paper template asks students to solve a mathematical problem in four unique ways. This can be used both as a formative assessment and a creative center activity or meaningful homework assignment.
