Looking for
a fun way to review math this March? Is March Madness taking over your classroom?
1) Divide students into teams.
2) Set a trash can in the front of the room
4) The teacher reads/posts the math problem and
each team works together to solve the problem.
5) The teams will alternate sharing their answer
first, if the team who is "shooting" gets it right they get to shoot
for points. If they answer incorrectly the opposing team will get a change to
share their answer. If they're correct then they will get to shoot for
points. Students choose which line they'd like to shoot from.
points. Students choose which line they'd like to shoot from.
Allowing teams to “steal” the point ensures that
everyone is engaged and solving the problem.
It's called trashketball because you're throwing a ball of trash (typically crumpled paper - I add some tape around it) into the trash can.
Simple, fun, engaging review – done!
Enjoy!
