Exponents Scavenger Hunt




This activity gets students out of their seats. Students get to work at their own pace and think it's a game. They are highly motivated to complete a question since they can self-check and get immediate feedback.

Students will complete a problem and then look for the answer on top of a different card. Students can complete this in pairs, small groups, or individually. Can be used whole group or in a center. If you laminate the cards, they will stand up like tents on the desks.

Students love this activity because they
--get to move around.
--work at their own pace.
--think it’s a game.
--get immediate feedback.

Teachers love this activity because it
--is easy to set up.
--keeps students engaged.

Solving Word Problems With Percents Scavenger Hunt

Click here to see this product on TPT

This is a great game to play to practice solving word problems with percents. Students do not need a calculator to solve the problems.

Every time I tell my students we are doing a math scavenger hunt they cheer. They love being able to work at their own pace. They are motivated to work through the problems because they feel that it is a game.

The teacher puts  10 question cards around the room. Once they get the answer, they will know which card to go to next. Each card also has a letter. At the end, they unscramble the letters to spell a secret word. This activity is motivating and gets students out of their seats.

The cards are made to be printed front to back on colored paper. Once you fold the cards, the answer to one card shows on the front and the question to another is inside the card. It is similar to the I have, who has, but students can work at their own pace.
Thanks,

This is a great game to play to practice all four operations with decimals. It has basic order of operations without exponents.

Each card only has them do two operations. The teacher puts the 10 question cards around the room. Once they get the answer, they will know which card to go to next. Each card also has a letter. At the end, they unscramble the letters to spell a secret word.
