Topic: Down Time in the Secondary Classroom

10-second review: How make use of short periods of available time in class? Books reviewed in The Mathematics Teacher provide problems for when a minute or two are available. Series of math problem books is called Daily Warm-Ups, by a variety of people. The Mathematics Teacher (February 2005), 447. A publication of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

Comment: Why not use the same idea with SAT-type grammar, using style, punctuation, usage problems? Throw them up on the board or on the overhead or whatever technology they use nowadays and see if the students know how to solve them. RayS.
