Who's Who?

Here's a quick game for students to play to help them learn the different Properties of Real Numbers:

  • Give half the students an index card with a property on it (some properties may be repeated).  Have those students write an example of that property on the other side of the card.
  • Next have the other students walk around the room and state out loud to the person holding the card the property being illustrated by the example.  The person holding the card is to state whether they are right or wrong.
     HERE'S A TWIST:  The students only get one guess per card!
  • The student stating the properties is to keep track of how many they get correct.  The person who gets the most correct wins.  
     HERE'S A TWIST:  It may be better to make this a timed game!
  • Then have the students switch roles.
