I created a Google Slides presentation for my 7th graders to help them set up, solve, and analyze Punnett squares. As a class, we worked on the first few problems together. Then, students worked with a partner and self checked their work using the Google slides. For homework, they were to finish the problems and self check using the Google slides. In class the next day, we reviewed some of the problems to check for understanding.
