Calculus BC Jeopardy™ Style Game Review Fun
What educators are saying
Description
This fun, exciting end of course Jeopardy™ Style Game review activity is designed for College Calculus 2 or AP Calculus BC. It is similar in style to my very popular Jeopardy style game for Calculus Part 1 for AP Calculus AB or Calculus 1.
Categories include:
- Techniques of Integration
- Volume and Area
- Sequences and Series
- Infinity and Beyond,
- Polar - Parametric
- Random category.
Most important topics from a typical Calculus 2 or AP Calculus BC are included.
The game includes Round 1 and a Final Jeopardy Question. It took just under a 50 minute class period and my students (and administrator) loved it.
I divided the class into five groups, as I had purchased five toy light up phasers with sound at Target in their $3 section. You could use a bell, whistle, or a buzzer system, but I loved the phasers, and so did the kids. No one left the room until I had all five back. I didn't tell them what we were doing that day, just that it was a review, so they grouped themselves. I numbered the groups 1 – 5. As I opened the first screen, they were excited, but as the game progressed they got more excited and competitive. Interestingly enough my students started from the $500 categories, not the easier ones, but eventually got through all of them. I let them use their graphing calculators and gave them scrap paper, but no cheat sheets with formulas. I had two or three students from another class come in as helpers to keep score and call who buzzed first. For Final Jeopardy, I gave each group a new sheet of paper and a marker to write the “question.” Music plays on Final Jeopardy. They could bet whatever they wanted and for the group that was losing, I let them bet up to $2000 to make it interesting. Your choice here. Goody bags to the winners.
It is an engaging activity as a review, and most importantly some students realized how much they needed more review. Since they chose their groups, there was a lot of camaraderie and support, and a lot of fun!! Some questions take longer than others because they have to do some work, so use your judgment on timing. Have fun!!!
Note that the directions to use are at the end of the Power Point so that you do not have to rearrange slides for classroom use.
