Powers of 10, Base 10 Exponents Kahoot 5th gradeKahoot Time!! My students absolutely love hearing that and competing against each other.

If you have never used Kahoot! before, you can create them for about any topic or subject. The registration is completely free.

This was a Kahoot my intern created which has 11 questions about powers of 10 or base 10 exponents. In this Kahoot, our 5th grade students practiced naming base 10 exponents in standard, word and exponential form. They used white boards, when needed, to write and calculate the different forms.

Rounding and Comparing Decimals Kahoot

Kahoot Time!!  My students absolutely love hearing that.  They are usually very quick to get out their computers and log into Kahoot in record time.

If you have never used Kahoot! before, you can create them for about any topic or subject. The registration is completely free.  Click here to read my blog introduction to Kahoots.  Our students absolutely love them and love competing against each other.

As the school year starts to gear up,  I thought I’d share a couple of new ones that I found  that I thought were really great.  Looking forward to adding some new ones for my students this year.

Rounding Decimals  5th Grade rounding to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth and thousandth.  10 questions that are each set for 1 minute.

Multiplication Facts – This is a great one that I like to use for a warm up (to get their brains thinking about math and to generate excitement.)  This Kahoot has 17 questions that are all 10 seconds each, testing their multiplication facts.  I tell them the faster they answer with the correct answer the more points they win and they are constantly competing to try and make it on the leader board.  I will definitely use this one again this year.

Comparing Decimals – This is a good one that I would like to try.  However, I’m going to add a few more comparing decimals problems since there are more questions about naming the place value than comparing.

If you need a quick assessment tool or would just like to play a quick game, then Kahoot just may be for you.  All you need is a mobile device (computer, tablet, phone) and your children and/or students will love it!

Kahoot- Natural Disasters- 3rd Grade

kahoot, natural disasters, 3rd grade
Intro to a Natural Disaster Kahoot

This Kahoot was designed by my  husband for his 3rd grade class as an introduction to natural disasters.

The quiz features 8 questions with pictures of different disasters.  The students have 20 seconds to select the name of the natural disaster  in the picture.  Some of the kids had never seen the disasters before and were amazed at the volcano and the tsunami.  (Their definite favorites!)

His students used their Chromebooks and his partner across the hall used iPads.   Both worked wonderfully.

Division & Estimation Kahoot

This Kahoot was created by me as a practice game for my 5th graders.  It uses their division, estimating, and multiplication skills. My students worked in pairs, but this could definitely be used for individual students. I also allowed my students to use white boards if they needed them.  

You could also use this in different grades as a review or practice.

Kahoot Introduction

Kahoots are a great way to get students engaged and having fun in math or other subjects.  On slideshare.net, I found this great picture that explains what a kahoot is pretty clearly.

Kahoot: an interactive quiz game for all subjects of learning.  Teachers can create their own quiz by typing in questions relating to their topic or subject.  The kids then use an ipad, computer, phone, or tablet to go http://kahoot.it . You can even create social games to play at a party. If you don’t want to create your own, but play one someone else created, you can do that also.  They have thousands of public Kahoots ready to go.  The game is highly addictive and engaging.

Kahoot gives each lesson a pin number when the game is started.  The students type in the pin and they are automatically in the game.  They compete against each other for higher points and can even compete against themselves in ghost mode.  You can even have the kids type their names and download a score to put in your gradebook. 

I have created several of these Kahoots for use in my math classes.  I will post a few of these on a different post that is free to use in your class as a review or fun quiz for the kids.
