Foldables and Blogging

Hello everyone,
Taught mult/division of integers by using a foldable with my students. We folded the paper in fourths. On one half of the paper, we wrote rules for "same sign" and the other half, we wrote rules for "diff. signs (1 negative). The students took the foldable home for homework and made up their own problems on the back. The next day, we reviewed by working problems from math-drills.com. The students were given 5 minutes to complete each mult. integer column (approx. 20 integer problems) They were awesome! When I called out an answer, they would in unison say "Yeah!" That came from their own creation! Fun class!!!!!!!! Good times! Good times! How's that for Diff. Instruction and "Blogging" in the same day???? LOL!
