Algebra 1 classes did their first 1-100 Game Board of the year and they loved it! First, we completed notes over graphing linear functions in standard form and then students broke into pairs to complete the Game Board activity.

Create a set of game cards with 3-6 questions on each card. Keep the level of difficulty in mind when creating the amount of questions on each card. Also, create enough cards to last the whole class period.
Cut the cards into strips to make it easier for you/students to pick up new cards when they need a new set. I would not recommend giving students all the cards/questions at once.
I print out a student tracking sheet for easy grading and to ensure that students are receiving the correct card. Hint: Create enough questions to last the entire amount of time to reduce student down-time.
Once a group finishes their card, they raise their hand to get their work checked. If students answered the card correctly, they are able to go write their "team name" on a number on the Game Board. After they write their name on a number, they grab the next set of cards.
During the last 5 minutes of class, I press the "Go" button and randomly select 5 numbers. Prizes include a piece of candy, a high five, extra points on a quiz, or a homework pass.
I would love to hear any of your go-to review day activities!
