Elementary Math Numbers Lesson

GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT: 2-3
This activity is a math review.

OVERVIEW: This activity can be used as a review of material
covered in any subject. The number of items can be
increased or decreased as needed.

PURPOSE: To review material covered in a fun way. The
students pay close attention because they're never sure when
their answer will be called.
OBJECTIVE(s): Students will review concepts, facts, or
other skills.
RESOURCES/MATERIALS: Unlined cards. Series of problems or
questions.
ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:
Prepare a set of cards. To make a set of cards, plan a
series of problems, making sure not to duplicate any of the
answers. Starting with the first card, write a problem on
the lower half of the card. The answer is on the top of the
next card along with the next problem. Continue generating
problems until you have at least one card for each student.
A card or cards are dealt to each player. Choose one
student to start the activity by reading the problem on the
bottom of this card to the class. All other students listen
carefully to see if their card contains the answer. The
student who has the answer reads the answer aloud and then
reads the rest of his card to the class. Again, all
students listen to see if
their card has the answer. Play continues until all cards
have been answered and the person who started the review
would have the answer to the last problem read.
