This Jeopardy Game is used to review all of module one for 6th grade math. The game reviews equivalent ratios/fractions, converting decimals, percent and fractions, the distance formula, solving percent problems and unit rate.

This game is created using multiple questions revolving around finding percents. Students must decide whether they are missing the percent, part or whole and solve from there using proportions. Answers are provided to ensure that students aren't getting problems wrong. This way the learning is more in the student's hands than the teachers.
