Math Checker Used in Classroom Setting

Use • Math Checker can be used as intervention material for students having difficulty in performing basic operations • Math Checker can be used to “Firmup”, “Deepen” and “Transfer” knowledge in the UBD framework.

Purpose • Increase the learner’s mastery level in performing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of real numbers.

Requirements • • Math Checker Boards and Chips Schedule of events Score sheets Tally Sheets Rating Sheets One overseer Honorarium Medals/Certificates

Procedure • Identification of fast and slow learners using assessment tools (written/oral tests) • Grouping the required participants • Intervention using Math Checker Games • Post evaluation • Awarding

Forming groups • A group with 4 members is recommended • There should be at least one fast learner in the group.

Real Numbers • Whole Numbers • Integers • Decimals • Fractions • Polynomials • Radicals

Round of Games: Whole Numbers • • Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Addition of Whole Numbers Subtraction of Whole Nos. Multiplication of Whole Nos. Division of Whole Numbers

Math Checker in classroom setting • In the earlier stage of using Math Checker, mixed signs of operation will be disregarded. In round 1, for example, all operations will be addition regardless where the taker chip landed. • To increase the level of difficulty, mixed signs of operations will be used.

Round 1 Addition of Whole numbers • Game 1 • 1 vs 2 • 3 vs 4 Game 2 1 vs 3 2 vs 4 Game 3 1 vs 4 2 vs 3

Round 2 Subtraction of Whole numbers • Game 1 • 1 vs 2 • 3 vs 4 Game 2 1 vs 3 2 vs 4 Game 3 1 vs 4 2 vs 3

Round 3 Multiplication of Whole numbers • Game 1 • 1 vs 2 • 3 vs 4 Game 2 1 vs 3 2 vs 4 Game 3 1 vs 4 2 vs 3

Round 4 Division of Whole numbers • • Game 1 Game 2 Game 3 1 vs 2 1 vs 3 1 vs 4 3 vs 4 2 vs 3 (same schedule applies to integers, decimals, fractions, & radicals)

Round of Games: Integers • • Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Addition of Integers Subtraction of Integers Multiplication of Integers Division of Integers

Round of Games: Decimals • • • Round 1 Addition of Decimals Round 2 Subtraction of Decimals Round 3 Multiplication of Decimals Round 4 Division of Decimals (same applies to fractions & radicals)
