Game Recap
The classic review game played in classrooms across the country...but with a MATHCOUNTS twist! Inspired by the 2023-2024 MATHCOUNTS poster, in MATHCOUNTS Trashketball, teams can earn 1, 5 or 10 points with each shot, but if they have the same number of points as another team at the end of a round, they both lose!
Materials Needed
- At least 1 trash can or other large receptacle (ideally 3)
- 1 roll of masking tape
- Dry-erase board and markers for keeping score
- Trashketball PowerPoint presentation with problems
- 1 writing utensil per student
- Scratch paper
