Great Class activity for retrieval practice: Leave One, Add One

Class activity for retrieval practice: Leave One, Add One

Pooja K. Agarwal

As we approach the end of the semester and the end of the school year, I want to share one of my favorite activities for retrieval practice: I call it Leave One, Add One. I just used it in my classroom last week.

Leave One, Add One is an engaging 30-minute activity that provides your students with spaced retrieval practice to boost their long-term learning. It’s no-stakes, a bit zany, and lots of fun.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
