Rational Numbers Real World Problems Knockout Game

Are you looking for a fun way to practice solving rational number word problems? This resource reviews answering real world word problems with rational numbers and all four operations. It's an interactive whole class game that will engage all of your students.

This game is ideal for whole class review. It provides an opportunity for formative assessment, giving a look at what students know about solving real world problems with rational numbers.

Teachers say that knockout review games are so fun, and they keep students engaged & on task.

What’s included:

• A projectable game board that’s simple to use with an interactive whiteboard or other projector
• Student scorecard. This printable scorecard is great for students to show their work and keep track of their progress in the game.
• 16 questions. These questions have a range of difficulty, reflected in the points per question for students.

How it Works:

To play: 1) project the game screen on the front board and have students select one of the 16 icons.

 2) Then, a question will be presented for the whole class to solve. All students solve the problem, either on their printable scorecard with icons to keep track of questions, or you may want to use personal white boards instead. 

3) Click to reveal the correct answer 

4) Click on “back” to return to the game board. The icon for the question you just completed will disappear.

This resource opens in PowerPoint Show, allowing you to immediately start playing. It isn’t editable. This game may be uploaded to Google Slides and played from there, but in Google Slides it does lose the feature of having already answered questions disappear (all other animations work in either version).

At the end of game play, collect students’ scorecards to see students' math work during the activity. There's just the right amount of healthy competition to make this math review game irresistible.
