Objective: To refresh students on basic multiplication in a fun and inviting way. We
would use this lesson in the beginning of the year to jumpstart an excitement for
learning math!
Short Description of the Activity: This activity is a version of the game
Jeopardy that allows the students to review their multiplication skills. The higher
the points, the harder the question. They will be allowed to test themselves and
decide as a group on taking a risk to go for the higher numbers. They will also need
to think fast and use mental math due to the time limit on each question. At the end
of the game, once all questions are answered, there is a final question that is the
hardest of them all. At this point each group is able to receive the points; but, they
decide how many points they receive based on the amount they already have. They
decide whether to put all their points up and double their final score if they get the
answer correct, or they can put up a portion and receive that amount. If the
students get the answer wrong, they lose the amount of points they put up.
