Resource Blog #4: Math Scavenger Hunt



https://www.scaffoldedmath.com/2018/02/percents-scavenger-hunt.html

I’ve always found scavenger hunts to be fun because I like a challenge, so I found this math scavenger hunt that would be fun to incorporate in a classroom. Students are able to work in pairs or alone at the teacher’s discretion and can start at any card around the room. Students must read the problem and solve it. After they have solved the problem, they have to find the next card with that solution on the top. I would definitely use this in my class as a fun activity for students to go around the room, but they are also practicing word problems, so they will need to know how to read and understand them and be able to solve it in order to move on to the next card. Teachers could also use standardized test questions in their scavenger hunt to familiarize their students with those types of questions.
