Student?

Are You Smarter than a Pre-Calc Student?

“Are You Smarter than a Pre-Calc Student” is a game in which the first 10 questions the class is playing the game together to earn extra credit points that are accumulated as a group.

If the game advances to the bonus question, the students will then be playing individually to risk +/- 5 more extra credit points.

In the classroom designate 10 students to act as the “players” in for the game. The remaining classroom students will act as “classmates” and the “audience” in the game.

The student “players” will each pick a number between 1 and 10. The number will correspond to the questions for which that student will act as the player.
