A new way to look at bingo!!

Today I was giving my students a test.  Quite a few were done and I needed a chance to concentrate on the others.  I needed something I could just put up real quick while I finished tests.  I found Teachers Classmate!  This is interactive bingo!  I tried out the addition and subtraction.  It kept my kids more engaged and made them really think about the problems.  They only go up to 10, but I have asked the creator if they could look into a version up to 20.  There is also place value, bingo, and a version that mixes immediate grade level skills.http://teachersclassmate.com/






You can buy bingo cards to match the interactive boards at their teacher pay teacher store.http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teachers-Classmate






You could also make your own bingo cards to use with the website at Bingo Baker.

Since I was using it "on the fly" today, I used the bingo cards I had.  Then I gave them wild cards every so often to fill in numbers that the website was not using.  This also gave them the chance to strategize which is a great math skill.

Check them out and you will not look at bingo the same again!!
