Th night, I tweeted virtually cutting too laminating cards for a restrict frog game inwards trigonometry.
I learned virtually the restrict frog game at the OCTM (Oklahoma Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Summer 2016 Workshop. It was at a session titled, "Taking the Practice Out of the Worksheet." Since, there's a 99.9% endangerment y'all weren't there, I recapped the session too resources shared inwards that session on my spider web log here.
I advise y'all read the entire ship service I linked to inwards a higher house because it is chock total of non bad ideas, but if y'all didn't I gauge I tin recap the rules to playing restrict frog. :)
The game of Leap Frog requires 2 things.
1. Students must adapt their desks inwards a circle. Or a square. Or whatever convex polygon of your choosing.
2. Each pupil needs an "answer bank." You tin give this past times either making questions too typing upwards the answers to shape an reply bank. Or, y'all tin do what I did too pick a theme that entirely has a finite spot out of answers. I typed upwards every possible reply to brand an reply depository fiscal establishment that would piece of work amongst whatever possible interrogation I came upwards with.
This is the kickoff restrict frog game I created, too the theme is finding exact values of trig functions using the unit of measurement circle. Here is my reply bank:
This reply depository fiscal establishment allows me to inquire students to honour the sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, too cotangent values of each angle on the unit of measurement circle. I printed each deck on a dissimilar color of newspaper too laminated them for durability. You don't possess got to impress them on dissimilar colors, but this makes it slow to figure out what deck the carte du jour y'all but flora on the flooring belongs too! Or are my students the entirely ones that ever seem to goal upwards amongst mystery cards on the floor???
Each pupil lays out their reply depository fiscal establishment on their desk. They volition non exceed away along the same reply depository fiscal establishment throughout the game, but that is okay.
Put a employment upwards on the board for students to solve. I would unremarkably do this amongst my SMARTBoard, but my projector has been dead since Oct 5th. Today is Nov 19th. That is a actually long fourth dimension without a SMARTBoard. And, I fille it too then much. I'm supposed to move getting a "new to me" projector over Thanksgiving break. Hopefully it industrial plant out! I learn inwards a schoolhouse amongst a real small-scale amount of applied scientific discipline to start with, too then having no SMARTBoard too no document photographic tv set camera is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than depressing than normal.
I but wrote the trig business office for them to calculate on the dry out erase board. Each pupil had a unit of measurement circle too a dry out erase board/marker/eraser at their seat. Each pupil calculated the exact value of the trig business office too grabbed the right carte du jour from their reply depository fiscal establishment when they figured it out. I told them to enshroud the carte du jour inwards their manus too then nobody else could run across it.
When I kickoff learned virtually this game, I was worried virtually students looking at their neighbors' reply banks too cheating. This turned out to non move a problem. I'm non certainly if this is because I used this game amongst my trig students or because in that place were twenty dissimilar cards inwards the reply bank.
You volition possess got to remove whether y'all volition give students a certainly amount of fourth dimension for each interrogation or if y'all volition but play it past times ear too motion on when most/all students possess got arrived at an answer.
When fourth dimension is upwards or most/all students are done, inquire students to present the carte du jour inwards their manus to their neighbors. This helps keeps students accountable. It also leads to closed to non bad conversations when the answers don't match.
If students disagree virtually the answers or if closed to students didn't answer, piece of work out the employment on the board for students to see. After determining the right answer, possess got each pupil who got the right reply to stand upwards up.
Determine if students volition rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The students who are standing volition rotate i spot inwards that direction. If a pupil needs to rotate into a spot that is taken past times a seated student, they volition "leap frog" over that pupil too whatever other students until they acquire inwards at an empty seat.
So, how do y'all win? There are several choices. You tin nation that the kickoff pupil to acquire dorsum to their master spot wins. Of course, that brings upwards the outcome of a pupil who ends upwards going past times their master spot because the pupil inwards their master spot gets the reply wrong. This may move something y'all want happens. If so, declare the kickoff pupil to brand it dorsum to their exact master spot the winner. Otherwise, y'all tin possess got a shorter game past times proverb that the kickoff pupil to brand it dorsum to or past times their master spot is the winner.
I possess got 8 students inwards my trig bird (plus i pupil aide who ended upwards joining us inwards the game), too nosotros ended upwards playing 2 rounds of this game inwards virtually 30-35 minutes.
The students complained virtually having to move out of their seats at first, but they rapidly got into the game. It was a fun agency to exercise finding exact trig functions without but doing a bunch of problems on a worksheet.
I possess got uploaded the file for this game here.
