Mathematics

I will assign groups accoring to first letter of names. A-D, E-H, I-M, N-R, S-Z these will be the groups. I will hand out a paper with about twenty-five questions on it. Someone read the question to the group and everyone try to come up witht he answer. Collaborate with eachother on what you think the correct aswer is. I expect every group to get at least eighteen correct answers on this activity sheet by working together. You will be assigned extra credit points by most answers correct.
