1. musical angles--draw as many angles as you have student (or if you have few students and a large room, create 2x the #--for space between students). place the angles
2. geometry bingo--have pictures (i just drew mine) of everything you want to review--similar shapes, congruent shapes, parallel lines, acute triangle (be careful, because, obviously, some things have 2 names--like a right triangle can also be an isoceles triangle--i avoided that problem by only having 1 answer card--like, i had "right triangle" but not the isoceles triangle). as you call out terms, students cover their pictures. 3. who am i? game--like the old "i am 5 x 8. what am i?" and someone else in the room says "i'm 40 (because s/he has that card). who has 3 x 5?" and someone else has 35..... i made one for geometry concepts....and i will post the word document (if it's not too large) THE ONLY PROBLEM IS....IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED....i have 2 scalene triangles in there, so an adjustment needs to be made--sorry, i ran out of time this year so didn't do the game and don't have time to figure it out right now. (the document is in 2 column-format--which each card being answered by the next one...the last card is answered with the first.) 4. Teams Tournament This one i actually did to review for my geometry measurement unit (area, volume...), but it could be used with geometry concepts. it helps that i have a SMARTBoard for all students to view...but if you had an overhead, it would work just as well. i created slides of various problems (some real world word problems) some with pictures....what is the area of this rectangle? some with missing information--what is the perimeter of this shape--where they had to figure out the missing measurements first. class was divided into teams of 4-5. each team had a TAP light. every student had a small white board--the rules were: EACH member of the team had to have the formula, work, correct answer, and correct label (inches squared) on their boards--the first light lit got to answer the question--if they were wrong (or someone didn't have all information--encouraging them to work together and share how to solve problems), it went to the next lit group. i have played Teams Tournament before differently, but this time i wanted to use the TAP lights that i had seen someone mention here so, of course, i had to go out to buy them to use! ($5 for 4 at Walmart in lighting section by auto--they came with batteries--wahoo!) anyway, the other way i've done Teams Tournament is every team gets equal number of chances. first question is for team 1--they get x# of minutes to solve--first answer loud enough for me to hear is the answer--keeps the one kid from always shouting out answers: they need to consult. if they are wrong, the question goes to the next team--keeps the other teams quiet and working because they might get to steal! and then i always give the last question to the last team--same number of problems each. of course, i ALWAYS have prizes for winners! this adds a bit more motivation for them! sometimes i give a little treat to everyone after playing. hope these ideas help!
