Jeopardy Directions
• Any group member may select the first question and students rotate choosing the
next question in clockwise order regardless of points scored.
• As a question is exposed, EACH student in the group MUST write his solution on
paper. (No verbal responses accepted.)
• The first student to finish sets down his pencil and announces 15 seconds for all
others to finish working.
• After the 15 seconds has elapsed, click to check the answer.
– IF the first student to finish has the correct answer, he earns the point value of the
question and no other students earn points.
– IF that student has the wrong answer, he subtracts the point value from his score and
EACH of the other students with the correct answer earns/steals the point value of the
question. (Those students do NOT lose points if incorrect, only the first student to “ring
in” can lose points in this game version.)
• Each student should record a running total of his own score.
• Good sportsmanship and friendly assistance in explaining solutions is expected!
Reviewing your math concepts is more important than winning.
