This is a new type of activity I am working on, with the catchy name of Fill in the gaps. It is my attempt to replicate some of my favourite Standards Units card sort activities, but with less cutting and some elements of variation.
Whilst it still fits under my definition of Intelligent Practice (and as such, the guidance notes for running these types of activities should still be useful), I see these more of a revision activity. I use them as a way of bringing together several concepts, challenging students to work forwards and backwards across rows, to ensure they do not get tied into one way of thinking.
I may start these types of activities with an Example-Problem Pair or, depending on the class and the situation, I may just give out the activity cold.
