Explore 14 Function Notation review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. Turn Math review into a game and give students a reason to get excited about showing what they know.

• BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.

Review doesn’t have to mean another worksheet, especially when a game can get the whole class involved. You’ll see students lean into the questions, debate answers with their teammates, and hang on every result as the game unfolds. Play review games regularly and students start preparing for them, because just like sports, they know being ready gives them a better chance to win.
