Task Card Management
I display my laminated task cards on a bulletin board. I punch holes in each set, put them on rings and hang them on push pins. Students can then have easy access to them for independent use. I write the correct answer on the back of each card for self checking. Students have their own "Task Card" spiral notebook to record answers for each set.
