Break up students into 3 teams, (Teams A,B, & C). Have them write up 10 math problems with corresponding answers within topic. Round 1: Team A reads their questions and act as judge. Teams B & C stand with flyswatters in front of a Grid of possible answers, and “swat” the right answer. Which ever team has their flyswatter at the bottom of the stack wins the point for that question. Round 2 & 3: Rotate teams, so all kids get a chance with the flyswatters. |
