(time required to complete lesson, e.g. "two 45-minute sessions")

The time allotted for this review lesson can be determined by the teacher.  If the game show is going to be completed in one session, it will require about an hour.

 

Goals:
(curriculum and unit related; National or State standards)

All WICSD Mathematics Outcomes.

 

Objectives:
(measurable specific activities conducted by students)

In the format of a “backward” Jeopardy game show (the questions will be asked and students will provide the answers), students will review and practice mathematical problems based on what students are expected to know “pre-March.”   

 

Teacher Materials/Resources:
(specific materials the teacher must have to conduct the lesson, e.g. Romeo and Juliet (video), American flag, etc.)

 

Ø      computer

Ø      TV monitor

Ø      power point software

Ø      whiteboard, markers

Ø      copy of the game board (printed from the power point presentation) on a transparency

Ø      overhead, markers

 

Student Materials/Resources:
(specific materials the students must have to complete the lesson, e.g. calculators, construction paper, finger paints, etc.)

Ø      scrap paper for each student

Ø      pencil

 

Procedures:

This Jeopardy game show can be altered and played in various ways.  Below are rules that teachers may use to implement the learning experience:

1)      Teacher will explain the rules to students (keep in mind to explain that this Jeopardy is different in that the student is given the question and needs to provide the answer)

2)      Teacher will assign one student volunteer to mark off on the game board transparency which questions have already been answered

3)      The teacher will open the “NYS Math Review Game Show,” go to the View menu and select “Slide Show”

4)      Wait for all information to come up on slide one and then click anywhere on the screen to move to slide two

5)      Teacher will have divided the class into three equal teams, each team will choose a team name

6)      On slide two, the teacher enters the names of each team under the word contestant

7)      Determine which team will go first, second and third

8)      Create an order in which students will answer questions for each team

9)      Click to move to the board game screen, have students select a category and amount, click on the appropriate box to see the question, when the student has given his answer click anywhere on the screen to show the correct answer

 *I suggest that when the question comes up, ALL students answer the question on their          scrap paper independently and quietly in order to keep all students engaged and practicing the math concepts.  You can have the class check their answers with the correct one after the student has given his/her answer.  The student who chose the category and is answering the question for his/her team should explain how he/she got the answer to the class in order to endure understanding for all students.*

10)  Click anywhere on the correct question screen to return to the board screen.  You may enter the “winnings” in the box for the successful contestant and keep track of scores here.  Or you may click on the Scores box on the correct question screen and return to Slide 2 and enter scores there. 

11)  After a student has answered a question, have the student volunteer mark that one off on the overhead to show that no one else can answer that question

12)  Continue these steps until all questions have been answered and then move on to “Final Jeopardy”

13) In “Final Jeopardy” you can have teams work together to figure out how much they want to wager and to determine the answer

14) The team with the most points at the end is the “winner.”  However, remind students that they are all winners because they have all been learning!

 

Assessment:

The teacher will monitor student answers as well as their procedures to solve them.
