Title:
Order Of Operations BINGO
Duration:
30 – 45 minutes (time may vary)
Subject/Unit Focus:
Submitted by:
Jill Williams
Type: Individual
Unit 1 - Section 7.5
Purpose of Activity: To practice and reinforce order of operation rules
Objective(s) addressed (optional): During this activity, learners will:
Practice the rules of order of operations previously demonstrated during lecture time. They will have repetitive
practice of these problems and hopefully be more efficient.
Description of Activity:
1. Before class have each problem cut out of the problem sheet. I fold them and put them in a cup or basket so that I
can pull out the problems randomly.
2. Give each student a BINGO card and tell them to number the card randomly using 1 – 24. Make sure that they write
the number small in the corner of each box.
3. Then start the game by pulling out a problem. Write the problem on the board and give them the appropriate
amount of time to work it out. They should write their answer in the box that went with that problem. Sometimes
if the problem is difficult I may help get it started.
4. Repeat this until someone gets BINGO. When someone does get BINGO, check their cards to see if they got the
correct answers. I try to have some sort of prize for winners.(ex. Candy)
5. I keep the game going to most or all of the problems have been done. You may get several winners. You also may
want to take time to review some of the problems, especially the more difficult ones.
Materials Needed:
Smartboard or whiteboard, marker, attached problem sheet, answer key, and bingo cards.

Support Materials:
Attached: Problem sheet, answer key, and bingo cards. (There are 2 bingo cards on a sheet, you will need
to cut the sheet in half.)
