Let customers speak for us
the students had an absolute blast with it. Was really helpful in getting them to remember conditional statements.
This resource was exactly what I needed! The directions were clear, engaging, and easy for my students to follow. The visuals and activities kept them interested, and it aligned perfectly with the standards. I appreciated that it worked well for both whole-group and small-group instruction. Definitely a time-saver and worth it!
Well thought out resource and useful in my classroom. Thank you!
My students love a good competition, and they loved this game!
Great resource to use as a unit review! Students enjoyed playing.
Students had so much fun with this activity. It was challenging, but the fun aspect truly engaged the students.
My students really enjoyed this review game. We ended up splitting into four teams so that more students were involved on each question and then each team could pick who they wanted to assign their points to. We were able to use the slides for this and we had a lot of fun. My students have asked if this can be our next review game too!
We use this during small groups to help with identifying prime and composite numbers.
A great resource for my seventh grade math students!
Fun way to practice input and output with third graders!
Highly engaging way to reinforce basic robotic concepts
This game was so fun! My students loved using the as their review before their unit test! I also liked how I was able to add some other questions to help them prepare for their unit test.

Explore 7 Matrix Basics review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. When students are having fun, they forget they are reviewing, making games a great way to practice Math.
- TRASHKETBALL™ mixes fast-paced question review with a classroom shooting competition where correct answers earn shots for points.
- BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.

- The BIG TERRIBLE Game gets up to eight teams answering every question while unpredictable positive and negative points keep everyone guessing until the end.
- In GRUDGEBALL, teams answer questions to fire on their opponents’ ships, then make baskets to earn even more shots.
When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. Students get focused, talk through answers with their teammates, and suddenly everyone wants to be the one who gets the next question right. When games become a regular part of review, students quickly learn that knowing the material gives them an advantage, and they start showing up ready to compete.
And it isn’t just something I’ve seen in my own classroom—research has found significant learning benefits from using educational games with students. See the research.
