Money Quiz
Title: Money Quiz on Google Forms
Overview: In this lesson, students will take a short on-line quiz based on a material they learned in class. The quiz is created in Google Forms. I built the form using the “Blank Quiz” template, and the multiple choice format. I attach the form to my classroom website, allowing students to access the quiz without needing a login or password. My primary goal for this lesson is to practice taking an online quiz. The focus on money is secondary.
