The questions range from “How many total gifts are given during the 12 days of Christmas?” to “How much did the average U.S. In this game, students are presented with a variety of questions that have numerical answers. Watching students work so well as a team warmed my teacher heart! Even the smartest kids could struggle to find reasonable answers. The questions were different than the types of questions we work on in school. No one started off as “good” at this game. It was fun! Students were really into it and for the last day before Christmas break it felt like a class treat.
These are a few of the math practices that are so important for students to develop. They had to evaluate answer choices and determine reasonableness. And they had to negotiate to generate an answer and determine their wagers together. Here’s what was so great about this trivia game: Students loved it! And as a teacher, I loved it too. Inspired, I created a version of the trivia game for my classroom. It was so much fun to play with family and friends, and I realized that it would make a great holiday game in my classroom. A few years back I found the addictive trivia game Wits and Wagers. With my own classroom, I wanted to create a similar experience. The questions were challenging and yet somehow (loosely) related to the science we were studying.
Every year, he hosted a science themed Christmas trivia game. One of my favorite school memories came from a high school chemistry teacher right before Christmas.
