Jeopardy Math Review of 4th Grade Standards--THREE Games!

Jeopardy is a fun, meaningful way for students to review or to use as test prep. The game format gets all students involved in a non-threatening way and therefore is a great formative assessment tool for teachers.

Included in this file are 3 jeopardy games (75 questions total!) reviewing 4th grade math standards. It is perfect for end of the year review (before testing, too!) or for beginning of the year with 5th graders. Here’s the breakdown of each game:

*Game 1: triangles, polygons, lines, quadrilaterals, angles
*Game 2: order of operations, fractions 1, fractions 2, elapsed time,
multiplication/division
*Game 3: metric measurement, customary measurement, fractions, division,
multiplication/division

NOTE:

Here’s how Jeopardy looks in my classroom:

--Divide students up into groups and allow 2-3 minutes for groups to pick a team
name.
--Write team names on the board or chart paper to keep score on. I assigned a score
keeper, also.
--Determine which team goes first. (Ex. one student from each group stands up, and
go in order of birthdays.)
--Determine the order within groups by assigning each student a number.
--Student one from the first group picks a category and a number. Ex-fractions for
200. Click on the number to be taken to the question.
--For the sake of practice and review, each student answers the question on their
white board. The student whose question it was shows his/her answer. If correct,
his/her team receives the points. If not, the question goes to the next team for the
same amount of points. If the second team does not answer correctly, the teacher
reviews the question.
--Note: The team who got the question passed onto them still gets to pick their
own question!
--Click on the screen to show the answer to the question.
--Click on the home icon on the bottom right of each screen to go back to the
Jeopardy board.
--When a question has been selected, the point value will appear in a lighter shade.
This lets you know which questions are left to answer.

Final Jeopardy:
--Each team determines how many points they want to risk before seeing the final
jeopardy question. Allow time for each group to determine this amount.
--Display the final jeopardy question.
--One person per group will display their team’s answer, everyone at the same time.
--Click on the screen to display the correct answer.
--Awards points/deduct points as needed. (Points are deducted for the wrong answer
in final jeopardy only, based on the amount of points the team agreed to risk.)

Important: The 3 files included are all PowerPoints. If your computer will project PowerPoints (most all do), then you will be able to use these files to play these games. There are NO sounds included with these files or fun clip art, only genuine math practice/review. If you are interested, look at the pictures to get an idea of the questions asked. There are both multiple choice questions and questions where students record their own answers.
