What are boom cards?

Boom Cards are interactive, self-checking digital cards. You can access cards in the Boom Store that have already been created by other teachers. (Some are free. Some are not.) Some teachers also sell them on TPT. OR, you can even create your own cards. As students go through the cards there is an interactive on each card in which they are able to practice a skill or concept. Students can interact by clicking to select an answer, by typing, or by clicking and dragging a selection to the correct spot.
