What you need:

• a scorekeeper• 4-5 marker boards (or page protectors)• markers• erasers/paper towel/socks, etc.

The questions rotate through the 10 units in 6th grade math. There are 60 total questions. Allow approximately 30 seconds for responses.

Instructions for Teachers• This is intended to be fast-paced quick answer

type game, not heavy on calculations. Recall of important info from this year…

• Suggested use is to place students in 4-5 teams.• You will need a whiteboard/marker for each

team. Team 1 Team 2 Team 3 Team 4

Instructions for Teachers• The first person in each team answers question 1

on their marker board. All correct responses earn a point for their team.

• If other team members shout out or provide answers their team loses a point.

Team 1 Team 2 Team 3 Team 4

Instructions for Teachers• If none of the people get it correct, play shifts to the next

row of students on each team to see if they can answer the question.

• The next question is answered by the next group of students. Students can either shift positions (like a relay) or just pass the marker board back.

Team 1 Team 2 Team 3 Team 4

Alternate Method:

• for a smaller group, arrange students in a circle

• only 1 person answers each question• If a student answers a question wrong they sit

down• Last person standing, wins!

A friend suggests this game:

Roll a dice…If the number is prime, he wins.

If the number is composite, you win.

Explain why this is not a FAIR game.

He has 4 chances of winning (1,2,3, & 5)You only have 2 chances (4 and 6).

To be fair, the outcomes must be equally likely.
