"33 Points"

Much like the game "21 Answers" from my previous post, "33 Points" challenges students to use three single digit numbers and all the math they have ever learned  to create expressions and number sentences in order to arrive at pre chosen "answers."

But That's Just The Beginning - Students Use Strategy To Capture Adjacent Numbered Points For
Bous Scores!

You can access a FREE DOWNLOAD of the game along with instructions and differentiation strategies here:


After your students use and learn from it, a quick shout here and/or on my Teachers Pay Teachers page would be appreciated.
Never mind that this is just good higher level thinking, common core math standards are included for those pesky principals who demand them with your lesson plans.
Differentiated Instruction ideas are included for students from emerging math students in first grade through gifted 5th & 6thgraders.
This challenge activity is a great tool for:
Teaching specific math skills.
Math Centers
*** The day your principal wants to observe you presenting a Challenging differentiated math lesson to a mixed ability classroom.
Teach– Model – Then sit back and watch students have fun learning and sharing what they know with each other.
