These are my FAVORITE activities for practice! They're a great way to get students to practice, ask questions, and get moving!

Let me do the prep for you, so you can be free to walk through the room and help your students! This is a great formative assessment to give mid-unit to see how your class is doing and what questions they're asking.

Here's how to set up these scavenger hunts:

1. Print one set of the problem/answer pages. Fold down the middle line. I like to use bright colored paper when I have it, it helps students spot them around the room.
2. Hang up the half-sheets in order with the ANSWER side showing. Tape only the top so students can lift up and see the other side.
3. Print enough answer sheets for your students. (Pairs work great too!)

Then, when in class:

1. Instruct students to spread out so they're all starting at different problems.
2. Students lift up the problem they're standing next to and work that problem.
3. When students get an answer, they'll find it hanging on a DIFFERENT sheet than the one they started on.
4. Students find their answer, and then lift up that problem and work it.
5. Students continue until they've solved all 10 problems and the last answer will lead them back to their beginning problem.
6. Students record their work in the order they complete them, NOT numerical order.
7. Students record the order they solved the problems in the loop at the top left of their paper, I have them put the first problem # in the star shape.

Depending on the class, this can take up around a 40-50 minute class period.
