Introduction Return To Top
You have reached the end of your 5th grade year, your last
year in elementary school! You have
taken the final exam, turned in your notebook, and taken the cover off your
book. You think you are home free when
Mrs. Lomax enters the room with a sly smile on her face. “So, you think you’re finished, huh? I thought so! Not so fast, suckers! I have one last task for you to
complete. You have spent one hour each
day in with me learning the objectives set by the state of Alabama. In order for you to be promoted to 6th
grade, you must earn the right to call yourself a
SURVIVOR
OF LOMAXLAND!”
The Task Return To Top
Working in groups of three, your tribe will be given one objective of
the Math program of studies to base your problem-solving questions on. The questions will be in the multiple
choice format. You will use links within Power Point© to set up a
Jeopardy-style game for the other tribes to compete in. (Please click HERE to see an example.)
The Process Return To Top
- Your teacher
will give you one or more of the following categories to develop your
section of the game on:
- Place Value
and rounding of Whole Numbers
 Place
Value and rounding of Decimal Numbers
- Adding and
Subtracting of Whole Numbers
- Multiplication
and Division of Whole Numbers
- Adding and
Subtraction of Decimal Numbers
- Multiplication
and Division of Whole Numbers
- Fractions,
Percentage, and Ratio
- Multiples,
Factors, and Integers
- 3-D objects
and 2-D shapes
- Transformations
- Use a
variety of resources such as your text book, hand outs, math problem
solving websites, problem solving books to create 5-8 questions in your
area of study. Remember, you want to challenge your opponents!
- The TRIP website will give you
what you actually need to know in 5th Grade math.
- For each question,
create multiple choice answers, one being the correct answer.(See example)
- Use these
questions and answers to create your Power Point© game. Your game/presentation should include:
- a title
slide (name of your game, strand you’re covering, tribe members)
- 3-5
question slides that list the four possible answers. Each of these answers should be
linked to either a ‘Sorry try again’ type slide or a “Correct!” type slide.
If you are unsure how to do this, Power Point© offers a tutorial to
help you with this.
- a closing
slide
- Be prepared
to play your game with the other tribes. Appoint one of your tribe to be
host. Your teacher will set up the point system. Have fun with it!
- For an extra
challenge, e-mail your game to another school and have them play.
Compare your results.
