4 WAYS TO SCORE:

CLASSIC SCOOT: Each correct answer is worth 1 point.

DOUBLE OR NOTHING: The first correct answer in a row is worth 1 point, and each correct answer after is worth double (1,2,4,8,16,32…). Restart after each wrong answer, add up the totals.

PLACE YOUR BETS: Before starting, have the students write down their bet for each answer in the scoring box, from 1-4 points. If correct, they get that score, if wrong, deduct that score. Add up the total.

UNFAIR SCOOT: Use the UNFAIR SCOOT SCORING PowerPoint (works in Google Slides) file. Use the file to determine the points for each round during the game. Once students reach their new desk, have one of them choose a letter, tap it, and reveal the score for that round. Students write it in the scoring box and then add up the correct scores using these values. (There are 4 versions included so students don’t figure it out).

The PowerPoint files will run in Google slides and will run on:

• iPads that run PowerPoint and Google Slides (free apps)
• Smartboards
• Projectors
• Desktops
• Laptops
• Any device that runs PowerPoint or Google Slides

No additional licenses required for the students in your class!

All questions and answers use text and mathematical notation (formulas), and there are no diagrams, maps, charts, graphics or visual aids.

While we provide a correct answer for every question, teachers should consider that students may provide a different answer that is correct and use their discretion.
