I have created a digital self-checking 15-question quiz template in Excel and Google Sheets.

With this template, you will be able to insert 15 questions as well as insert an answer key into this conditionally formatted template that will do the grading for you automatically. If a student answers a question correctly, the answer will turn green and if they answer incorrectly, the answer will turn red. You will be able to use this template for multiple quizzes in multiple subjects - all you have to do is change the questions and change the answer key.

This template will be a lifesaver and you will be sure to keep handy for every day to weekly use.

I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you for your support,

The activities in this packet are part of our classroom Social Studies center. During each Social Studies unit I set out a variety of artifacts for students to explore. Artifacts for our Then and Now unit include: books about pioneers, animal models, animal footprint cards, covered wagon model, spun wool, “old” kitchen utensils (dipper, pot, etc.). I put out a different activity every few days for a two week period. Students work independently on each activity during their daily five time or when they have completed their assignments. They use the artifacts to help complete each activity. For example, students can use the pioneer books to search for common and proper nouns or use the books to confirm pioneer facts and opinions. The activities include: -common and proper noun search -making words activity -pioneer fact and opinion -then or now sort This packet is a great addition to your Then and Now unit.
