Invent a new review game for the end of a chapter. How would it be structured? Would there be a clearly-defined winner? Make sure this game incorporates everyone in the class, where everyone is actively reviewing the material on some level.
(This blog will be graded based upon the thoughtfulness of your answer.)
The review game would be a form of bingo. Everyone has a different bingo template with answers to various questions. The teacher will read out a problem and the students will solve the problem. If the answer to the problem is on their bingo template, then the student marks that answer. When one student has one row or column of answers all marked, the student yells “BINGO!”. If the student yelled “BINGO!” first and all of the student’s work is correct, then that student wins that round/game.
ReplyDeleteWe could do a jeopardy review game, where we have a team of two or three. The questions with more points would be more challenging word problems and the lower point questions would be ones that are easier to solve. There would also be different categories in the game, and for this chapter it could’ve been, making equations, 5 step problem solving, absolute value and more. There would be a clear winner in this game, and that would be the team with the most point.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a stack of questions for each student to answer. Within a certain amount of time, each student must complete as many questions as they can, and they all must be the correct answer. Once the time is up Mr. Jobe will post the answers to all the questions either on our wiki or up on the screen. Whoever gets the most correct will win a prize.
ReplyDeleteThe review game could be something like chess. The materials needed would be a chess board, chess figures, and a sheet of paper with a list of questions on it. People can do a game of “rock, paper, scissors” to decide the first person to start the game off. As the person gets started, he/she can take a quick look at the list of questions, and randomly pick one to solve. If the person gets the correct answer, the student will get to move one of his/her chess figures. If this continues, people will eventually reach an end to the game- the person win’s his/her opponent’s king, which means that there is a winner to the game. The game can be played by two people partnered up as one team.
ReplyDeleteThe review game might be constructed in a board game including dice and cards like monopoly games. We could have questions on each squares and make the student solve those questions when they rolled a dice and landed on a square with a question. In addition we could write down special chances on cards and use them. So the rule is that we roll the dice in order and go around answering the questions. If the answer is right they could continue the game but if they got it wrong they are eliminated and can’t participate in the game anymore. The winner would be the final person left in the game.
ReplyDeleteThe review game can be like..............
ReplyDeleteFirst make four groups that have three people in each group. One person in each group will go up to the board and each group will be given the same questions. And then person who writes the answer the fastest and answers it correctly is the winner and will receive the point.
The questions should come from the students themselves. Everyone should come up with one question that they’ve had the most problems with. It would really be helpful since most people tend to have similar problems when it comes to solving math.
My idea of a review game would be something like a treasure hunt around the school. However, instead of clues, there would be maths problems about the topics we learnt in the chapter before. There would be groups of 2 or 3 students and each group would be competing against each other for the final ‘treasure’ at the end. The game would begin with Mr. Jobe giving each group a few questions in the classroom. If the group gets all the answer correctly, they will then receive a riddle, or a clue, to where the next maths problem might be located (in the school only). After they finish a series of around 8 ~ 10 questions, the final clue would lead them to some kind of treasure (such as a certificate, a lollipop, etc.). There would not be a specific team who ‘lost’ the game, but there will be a winning team, which is the group that reaches the final prize first.
ReplyDeleteThis game will surely speculate people’s competitiveness and increase their problem solving skills. It needs two teams, 1 calculator, plenty loose papers and a pencil. Also, whiteboard should be divided into two sections. The number of members in each team doesn’t really matter but 4-5 people are the best. First Team 1 get their calculator ready and the teacher gives them an equation with many variables and say “Start!!!” As soon as he say it,Team 1 solve the equation with a calculator and Team 2 solve it with their brains. Whoever solve it and write it on the whiteboards is a winner. However, if the first one is wrong and the second one is right, give a half point for the second team. For instance, Team 1 wrote the answer first but it was incorrect; then Team 2 gets the point if they have the right answer. At the end, the team with the most points win.
ReplyDeleteI think a good review game need to be fun and enjoyable. I thought about lots of games and I thought that we should make a box, put the numbers in the box and make everyone get one. Then put the question on the board with a number and make everyone solve the problem which has the number they got from the box. This game should be a competition and when people finish then the winner gets the prize that can be a candy or a bonus. I recommend it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI my game people need to get into groups of two or three and one person (the teacher) stays out to ask the questions and each is worth a certain amount of points. The questions get get harder throughout the game and as they get harder they are worth more points. Every team answers at the same time but if a team gets the wrong answer they must take away whatever the question was worth from their total score. After the ten questions whoever has the highest score wins but if there is a draw then the teams which drew need to keep answering questions until one of the teams lose.
