Choice Board
Choice Board Examples & Strategies
Use the Choice Board to allow students to display their voice and choice within their learning. The Choice Board can be used in multiple ways by the teacher to:
- Engage students who finish early
- Assess what students have learned at different points throughout the Unit
- Extend the Unit or lesson
- Allow students to display their learning in the Share section
The Choice Board is intended to provide content that can be added to the classroom’s existing Choice Board or to any bulletin board in the classroom.
The following is the Choice Board for this Unit:

Dear NASA Write a letter to a NASA engineer to ask questions about a real Mars Rover project. What are they learning about? What do you hope they will find? |
Field Drawing Draw what you think the surface of Mars might look like, and then add a collection station and your 123 Robot Rover. |
Add the Steps How far is your 123 Robot Rover traveling? Add up the steps in all of your projects, to see how far it is going all together. |

Change Calendar Think of something that changes during a year (leaves, snow, etc.). Draw or write all of the changes that happen to that object over a year. Can you think of 6 changes? |
Recess Rover Create a recess game where you move like the Mars Rover. Draw or write the rules and the goal of the game, then share it with your teacher at recess. |
From the Future Write a journal entry from the future, as the scientist who gets the collected samples from Mars. How did they change? What did you learn? |
