1. Construction – Angles – Relay Race
In this competitive activity students work in teams to answer questions
provided on small pieces of paper.
Students should check their answers with the teacher (who can be anywhere in the room with their answer sheet). If students are correct they can collect the next numbered sheet (easily placed in piles face-up on a desk at the front).
If students are wrong they can skip the question or be given 1 or more chances.
