Explore 21 Right Triangle Trigonometry 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.

• TRASHKETBALL™ gets teams racing to answer correctly, then rewards them with shots at the trash can to score points.
• Turn review into a team battle with BUMP, where correct answers earn shots and students can bump their opponents off the platform for extra points.
• Get students moving with SCOOT, where they travel from desk to desk answering task cards and recording their answers along the way.
• FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.
• In The TERRIBLE Game, teams answer questions to reveal mystery scores, then decide who gets the points as everyone battles to finish closest to zero.
• The BIG TERRIBLE Game keeps the whole class involved as up to eight teams answer together and watch their scores swing above and below zero.
• GRUDGEBALL turns review into a battle where correct answers earn cannon shots to sink opposing teams before they sink you.

Turning review into a game is one of my favorite ways to get students participating without making practice feel like more work. The competition gets students paying attention to every question, communicating with their team, and getting genuinely excited when the answer is revealed. Just like a team practices before a big game, students who know another review game is coming have a reason to prepare, because this time they really want to win.

Don’t just take my word for it—research shows that game-based learning can improve student achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
