We’re trying something new with Current Events today. There is an automatically-scored math worksheet that goes with the article about the Philly Soda Tax:

If you want your students’ scores, have them click VIEW MY SCORE when they have completed it, and record it via a screen shot, by printing the screen, by or taking an image of it with their tech (cell phone, tablet, etc.) to hand in to you later.
We’re looking to provide even more services to you. It would be helpful if you would try this out (even just yourself) and let us know what you think. Would this type of activity be helpful? Should we add quizzes like this that more directly relate to the content of the current events articles? (i.e Aren’t math, but ask questions about the article.)
