Let’s BUMP the other teams to score points!

BUMP is a No Prep Math game where students bump other teams off the platform to score points based on how quickly they answered the questions correctly!

The game is playable with the whole class together, or you can play it as small groups. There are 20 questions and answers included. This version is High School Math, Grade 9, Classifying Numbers (Natural, Integer, Rational, etc.).

It is a digital resource, no printouts required. All questions and answers use text and mathematical notation (formulas), and there are no diagrams, charts, graphics or visual aids.

How It Works:

• The game runs in PowerPoint, and you can edit the questions and answers if you like by typing in the slide.
• Make 3 teams, and set up platform (desk, binder, whatever), and a shooting position about 5 feet away.
• Tap the GO TO 1 to go to the first question.
• The teams race to answer the questions correctly on a piece of paper. When done, the designated shooter holds the paper up.
• After all shooters are ready, see the answer to the question.
• Shots are taken in reverse order of completion, if answered correctly.
• No shots if the answer is wrong.
• Teams get 1 point if their paper is on the desk after everyone has taken their shot.
• If you bump any other paper off the platform, you get 2 points for each one bumped.
• Add up the points and tap the digits to add them to the score
• Repeat until all 20 questions have been asked.
• Questions vary in difficulty and the answer is provided after each question.

The game will run on:

• iPads that run PowerPoint (free app)
• Smartboards
• Projectors
• Desktops
• Laptops
• Any device that runs PowerPoint

This game can be played together as a class using a smartboard/projector, or it can be played by individuals and small groups on iPads or computers that run PowerPoint.

No additional licenses required for the students in your class!

All of the images and colors are included just as you see it. Each user needs to purchase their own license, and the files may not be shared or sold to anyone, but you are free to make as many versions as you like for your own use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• This game runs on PowerPoint, and will not run on Google Slides
• A very small number of schools disable the animations and hyperlinks in their PowerPoint.
• The solution to this is to use a different device, such as a laptop or tablet that runs PowerPoint.
• Here are 2 test games you can use to check if your PowerPoint will run all of my games:
• Test GRUDGEBALL
• Test THE UNFAIR GAME

Here are several types of games that run in Google Slides:

• The VERY UNFAIR GAME
• FRAZZLED
