Procedure
This SMART Board lesson is a Jeopardy game devised to review the following Math B regents topics:
- Algebra
- Probability
- Statistics
- Trigonometry
- Complex Numbers
Depending on the size of the class, divide the students into teams of 3 to 5. To encourage maximum participation, apply the following guidelines:
- Assign team names. i.e. Team A, Team B, ...
- Randomly select the first team to choose a question.
- All teams are to work on the problem and the team leader will raise his or her hand when the team has agreed on an answer and its justification.
- Only award points to teams with the correct answer and justification.
- The first team to arrive at the correct answer and justification picks the next question the class will attempt.
At the end of the class period, the winning team or teams should be given a prize. This can be a sticker, pencil, candy or a pass for a "free no homework day."
- For homework or during the next lesson, have all teams who had difficulty with a specific category work online with the Jefferson Math project website student tutorials.
