8th Grade Math Bingo Review #1

This PowerPoint Presentation contains 2 bingo games of 8 questions each. The topics covered are: find the missing side of a right triangle, find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane, solve for angle pairs formed by 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal, compare numerals in different forms (radical, decimal, mixed) rate-time-distance problems, find unit cost, find the approximate position on the number line for a radical

•Directions for BINGO. 

•Have students to make a 4 x 4 game board.  They will fill in the answers in random order.  This way everyone has a different board but all of the answers.  Put up the first 2 questions.  When all students finish #1, you can change to the second page, which still has #2 but also #3 for those that have also finished #2.  This allows some students to work ahead when ready.  When everyone has finished #2, move to the next screen, which has #3 and #4 as some students will be ready for #4.  Continue in this way. Students should put a mark in the corner of the square---Don’t have them completely mark out their answers in the first game because they will use this same board in the second game.

•Students MUST show their work on paper to get credit for a BINGO.  For the problems that don’t have work to show, they must explain their answer on paper.

•The first game uses questions #1-8.  In a regular size class there should be 5-6 bingos after this many questions.    You can start the second game #9-10 or save that for another class time.  Just make sure students save their board because both games use the same board.

•I like to give a piece of candy (like jolly rancher) for BINGOs.  

I always help students with their problems since I used BINGO as practice not as an assessment.
