The following is meant to be a review for CSAP. It contains a broad array of mathematical topics that students are expected to have mastery of by the time theytake the test. It is meant to be played as a competitive game. Encourage thecompetitive spirit amongst the students and you will be surprised how into the gamethey get.THIS IS INTENDED FOR HIGH SCHOOL AGE STUDENTS.Preparation:

Make copies (preferably on card stock) of the following pages of questions. Cut thequestions apart on the cut lines. Fold the questions in half and then put them in some kind of draw bag. You should make a complete set for each team playing.

Directions:

Form the students into teams of three or four depending on the number of studentsyou have. Set yourself or the moderator up at one end of the room, with the draw bag, and havethe students in their teams at the other end. Students will need desk space or at least a hardsurface which they can write on. Then read the following rules to the students before handing outthe first round of questions.“

We are about to play a mathematical relay race. When I say start one student from eachteam should dash up here to receive their first question. When you get up here get in line behind the person in front of you. When you reach me you are going to reach into

your

team’s drawbag and grab a question. You are to take their question back to your team at which point theteam should work as a whole group to solve the question. Once the team believes that they havethe correct answer (and work) on their paper a DIFFERENT student on the team should bring theresponse back up. If I have any questions about the response I will ask the student up there withme to explain it so you need to make sure that every student on your team understands thequestions and the answers. If the student cannot explain the response, to my satisfaction, your team will be denied the credit for that response. If the answer is incorrect, your team will bedenied the credit for that response and will have to begin with a fresh question. Each time your team returns with a response I expect to see a different member of your team represented. Set up a rotation and stick to that rotation. The first team to reach 25 (or any number of points youset) points is the winner. Questions are worth varying numbers of points based upon their difficulty level. Any questions before we begin?

”BEFORE you start is a good time to remind students of proper behavior. Grown kids can behavelike children (pushing, impatient, etc.) when they start to have a good time. Also set up a systemfor the draw bags. Maybe it’s that the bags are each left in a specific locale or maybe it’s thatthey are color coded to ensure that the proper team is drawing from the right bag. Whatever youdecide make sure that the students know the system.

Note to moderator:

Each question will have a reference number listed on it. You can consultthe answer key in order to see a sample response. If you feel that the question was appropriatelyanswered you should assign them the points listed for that problem. However, keep in mind thatthe points are just recommended. If you feel the problem was too easy or too hard for therecommended points than adjust it to your liking. I would keep score on some type of big boardwhere all the teams have access to glancing up and seeing their (and the other teams) status. Inthe case of the free response problems the points listed are more of a range. If you feel that theiranswer is excellent give them all 4 of the points. If you feel it was just satisfactory give them 3points. It is up to your discretion as to how you award the points.
