While we waited for the prints…

Math City Project

Looking for a fun review activity for your high school math or middle school math class? Your students will love this one. They solve problems in order to choose a raffle number. At the end, the teacher selects a number at random. The student that selected that number is the winner. Students love it because they get to move around. Teachers love it because students are working together and even the slowest students can be winners. #mathgame #mathactivities #precalculus #calculus #algebra
