Possible Next Steps

There are many next steps you can take with this activity.

•

We certainly recommend going back over the problems after your winner or winners have been determined. Ask

students if they saw shortcuts for solving any of the problems, and have them share their solutions.

•

It is also possible to extend the game to have multiple winners. Rather than stopping when one student has

covered five squares in a row, continue the game and have the next winner be the person who has covered two

sets of five squares in a row. You can take it further to see who covers an entire card first.

•

If you play only until the first person covers five squares in a row, you can easily start a second game that

probably won’t take as long. Give students a list of the answers that were not used, have students create

their own BINGO cards from those remaining numbers and then start the new game using only the remaining

questions. As long as there are 24 questions left, students can fill in every square with a different number and

play the game. You can use copies of the blank template we provide, or students can easily create their own

5-by-5 grid with a free square in the middle.

•

You can use this game for any set of questions you create. Simply give a list of the answers to the students in

random order or in order from least to greatest, tell them to create a BINGO card using any 24 numbers from

that list and then start calling out the questions. It is a great game to use with any review activity. You need only

24 unique answers since they can be placed on a card in many different ways.

Make as many copies of the BINGO card below as you need!

You should be able to fit two per page.
