I Have Who Has is a class activity that is a student favorite. This set contains 36 cards with questions for squares of numbers, cubes of numbers, square roots of numbers and cube roots of numbers. It is a PDF file.

I HAVE WHO HAS:  PERFECT SQUARES AND CUBES Directions

1.  Make a copy of the cards.  You will only need one set to reuse for all of your classes.  Use color paper and laminate if possible.  (I had a set of I Have Who Has that were not laminated, used them for several years, and they held up well.)

2.  Have students number 1 -36 on a piece of paper.

3.  Mix up the cards and pass them out, one to each student.  There are 36 cards so a few students might get two cards depending on your class size.

4.  Any student can start with their WHO HAS.  The student that has the value equivalent to the WHO HAS statement speaks up and says I HAVE ____ WHO HAS_____. (reading their card)  Students will record the answer on their paper whether they have the card or not, trying to beat the person who has the card.  Continue in this manner until you return to the starting card and they will then get to say their I HAVE.

5.  I suggest having the cubes you don't expect the students to have memorized on the board (such as the cubes of 11 -15).  You might even want to have a poster of those permanently on the wall.

6.  I always made I HAVE WHO HAS a race for the class.  If they could go through the cards in a certain amount of time they all got a piece of candy.  I decreased the time allowed, as they got better.  All students will have to speak clearly and loudly, listen, and stay focused to get through the cards in a set time. --great skills to practice in and of themselves

***** Make sure to count your cards after taking them back up from students.  Even one missing card ruins the activity.********
