Jeopardy End of Year Assignment

In groups of 3-5, you will create a series of questions using your notebook and the
textbooks in class. Consider this a way to review everything we covered and get you
prepared for Grade 8!

Using the above topics, you will create 5 questions to summarize the above math
strands/units.
Once you have your questions created, you will create a poster board or Powerpoint
with the above questions.
We will play each groups games when we are all finished!

Things to keep in mind:

1. Ensure you are getting a good variety of questions surrounding a variety of
topics covered since September
2. Ensure all group members are contributing to the project (each person could
have one or two topics to cover)
3. Much like in real Jeopardy, questions should increase in difficultly
4. Remember questions are in the form of a statement and answers are in the
form of a question.
