Once your strips are ready, you need to provide each student (or group if you can share supplies in your building) with a full set plus a device to scan the codes. Lastly, you cut each strip directly down the center of the QR code. Once the page is printed, you cut each strip out. To use this resource, you need to print out the page she created. ![]() This is a free resource available on Teachers Pay Teachers. You can see why kids get totally hooked! The humorous images and videos provide the motivation students need to practice, practice, practice. ![]() Each QR code is linked to a fun or funny gif that will be revealed to students if they can successfully match the duration symbol to its name.
