Do you want to help your students practice their math skills in a fun and exciting way? If so, then you should consider using scoot math games in your classroom. Scoot games are a great way to review math concepts and skills. With both print and digital options, they are also easy to prepare, and can be played with any number of students. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using scoot games in the classroom, and provide some tips for getting started.
Scoot games are beneficial because they:
- Help students review math concepts in a fun and exciting way.
- Are easy to prepare – all you need is a deck of cards and a timer.
- Can be played with any number of students, making them ideal for large or small classrooms.
Now that we’ve discussed the benefits of using scoot games in the classroom, let’s take a look at how to get started.
To set up a scoot game, you will need:
- A set of math questions (make sure there’s enough for the whole class)
- A timer
- A whiteboard or projector (optional)
How to Play SCOOT games:
- Before the game begins, place a math problem on each student’s desk. Make sure there are enough questions for the whole class.
- When the timer starts, students will solve the problem at their desk.
- After they have solved the problem, they will move to the desk of the person next to them and solve the next problem.
- The game continues until each student has solved all of the problems.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when playing scoot games:
- Encourage students to work quickly, but remind them that accuracy is more important than speed.
- If you’re using a whiteboard or projector, write the answers to each problem as the students solve them. This will help the students check their work and see if they are on the right track.
- Make sure you have a plan for how you will review the answers with the class. This is a great opportunity to discuss any mistakes that were made, and to reinforce correct concepts.
