I’ve done the hard work for you. No need to pull test prep questions from the web, make up your own, or hand out boring packets to review. I’ve spent countless hours researching the standards, analyzing the types of questions students will encounter on the test, and culminating the research into a fun game ready to play as soon as you download it!  

Turn a normal day into a fun learning experience that your students will remember. Give students an opportunity to build teamwork skills and work together to solve rigorous math problems. 

When students get a problem wrong, no worries. Every question includes an explanation slide to walk students through the steps to solving the problem. Turn every wrong answer into a teaching opportunity!

The Jeopardy game includes clear, aesthetically pleasing, and easy-to-read slides. Don’t worry; I’ve omitted the kindergarten-style clip art, so the game feels mature for your upper elementary students.
