The Lesson

Allow students to sit on the tops of their desks. Call out or display a math fact (any operation that students should know), and ask individual students to provide the correct response.

  • If a student gets the fact correct, he or she stays on the desk and in the game.
  • Students who miss the math fact they are shown must sit at their desks and write the missed fact and correct answer ten times.

Assessment

Have students who had to write missed facts during the game turn in their corrections.
