Maths Bingo

V useful for quick revision.

Basic version: ask pupils to draw a 4 x 4 grid (mini whiteboards, rough book...) and choose 16 integers from 1 to 20, writing one in each square. You then ask questions for which each of these is an answer; these can be varied according to topic/ability etc. Keep a note of the questions you have asked. First pupil to cross off four answers in a row shouts "Bingo" (or "Hurrah for Sums" or similar).

With prep version: prepare lists of questions and answers in advance and give pupils a list of possible answers to choose from.
