Complex Number Bingo
 Topic Index | Algebra2/Trig Index | Regents Exam Prep Center


Play BINGO for practice.  Distribute a worksheet with terms that need simplifying (see example worksheet below).  Have students complete the worksheet then distribute a blank BINGO card. 

     Have students randomly fill in each square on the BINGO card with the question number in the top corner of each square and the answer in the center.  This process allows each student to create his/her own unique Bingo card.  Students like to have a FREE SPACE (of their choosing).

     Call the question numbers and have students mark that the appropriate square has been called by circling the problem number.  When someone gets 5 in a row, or any other type of BINGO you choose (such as four corners), have that student read the question number and the answer that he/she obtained.  A BINGO is obtained only when the student calls back all of the answers correctly.   If not, continue on until someone else calls BINGO.  Play may continue for more than one winner.  You can have previous winners continue to play along, searching for another BINGO on their same card.

To generate RANDOM BINGO NUMBERS with your graphing calculator:
                                  MATH → PRB
                                  #5 randInt(
                                  ENTER

                                  randInt(1,24)
  where 1 is your lowest value and 24 is your highest value.
