Flippity Color by Number is an interactive review activity where students answer multiple-choice questions. Each correct answer reveals a color that fills part of an image. As students progress, the full picture is gradually revealed.
This strategy combines content review, accountability, and engagement in a low-stress, game-like format.

I found this teacher's video on TikTok and I think that her strategy for test corrections has merit.
I wanted to share it with you to see what parts of it could inspire your test correction procedures to make them more meaningful to students.
Learn about it following the three steps below.
👈1️⃣Start by watching Part 1 where she explains the set up
2️⃣Then watch her follow up answering the questions that came up about student absences. 👉
3️⃣Then read through the thoughts below that came up in the comments on TikTok. 👇
Thoughts, challenges and tweaks from the comments:
How do we handle absent students? Her part 2 video covers this in depth.
Yes, this takes more class time, but would it be worth it? I think it could be.
She does digital self grading quizzes to get grades so quickly. (Canvas, Google Forms, etc)
You could take these grades and put them into ChatGPT to generate pairs!!
Everyone takes it twice.
She mentions this strategy in her syllabus and reminds them, so it is an expected procedure so they know going into each test that they're taking it twice.
Her tests are 20-25 questions long.
They don't get to see their first grade after the first test.
They don't see their second grade either, just the average of the two.
If a student gets 100, you could use them as "tutors" during the retake.
She averages the scores because they aren't doing the second test independently so that score isn't solely what they know.
You could reverse🔀 it and do a group test with notes first, then do an individual test second.
