Decimals Real Life Calculator Messenger In this competitive

Decimals – Real Life – Calculator – Messenger! In this competitive activity, one student at a time acts as a messenger for their team of 2 or more students. Without running (!), they relay information about questions (posted around the room) to their teammates who then answer them. Students need to record the question letter and the answer so they can mark their work using the answer slide at the end of the activity. With the points system, students can attempt appropriate questions. You could choose posters/questions to include and delete others. (Clear plastic wallets around your classroom make it quick and easy to display posters. )

Printing To print handouts from slides Select the slide from the left. Then click: File > Print > ‘Print Current Slide’ To print multiple slides Click on a section title to highlight all those slides, or press ‘Ctrl’ at the same time as selecting slides to highlight more than one. Then click: File > Print > ‘Print Selection’

You can change who is the messenger but only one person is allowed to stand up at once and they can’t carry a pen or paper to the question! Each question is worth a different number of points!
