This lesson is really set up for any day that you need something interesting and engaging for your students that has good mathematical content, but can stand alone, separate from any specific unit. This is a Jeopardy-style game that works well with small groups or large - I've used it with six students and also with a class of 32 (we had four teams of five and rotated players after every five questions).

You will need to be able to project the PowerPoint for class viewing, but it works well just using a computer and LCD projector or TV. Before class I arrange the desks into however many teams I want to have for the day, but you could have your students do this at the beginning of class instead. If you have access to quizbowl buzzers or some other electronic student response system I recommend using that system to reduce arguments about which student raised their hand first! Once everything is set up, I randomly assign teams and review the basic rules then begin play.
