O.G. Mistake

Ah... practice structures. I'm of the mind that there is nothing more boring and dreadful than giving students a kuta worksheet and asking them to finish it (not that I haven't done that before in a time crunch). By adding some type of game, scavenger hunt, or structured student interaction on top, I can improve engagement and the amount of feedback students are given. But I'm bored  of all my current practice structures. And, like all of my ideas, I thought of a new way to spice up a worksheet as I was falling asleep last night, thus keeping me up. Anyway: here it goes: I'm calling it O.G. Mistake, but I'm more than open to a better name for it. Here's how it works: Make a worksheet with numerical (or algebraic expressions) as answers, and hang up posters around the room with the question # on the front written really big, and the answer written on the back, as well as what number goes in the blank for the next problem (more on that in a bit).
