Directions

• Divide the class into two teams.
• Have a noisemaker for each team to ring when they
  know the answer (bell, squeaky toy, etc.).
• As a definition, word or symbol is displayed, the
  first student to chime in gets the first chance
  to answer.
• If the first student answers correctly, they may
  go to the 2 or 3 point masking tape line and try
  to shoot the nerf basketball for extra points.
• If they make the shot, they receive the number of
  extra points which correspond to their free throw
  line. If not, they still get one point for
  answering the question correctly.
• If the first student misses the problem, then the
  second team can huddle for 30 seconds to see if
  they can answer the question correctly. If the
  answer is incorrect, they do not get a point.
• Teams who answer by default, do not get to try
  for extra points.
• The team with the most points, at the end of the
  game, wins.
