March Madness Math Review

 Basketball finals are upon us and many of your students LOVE sports.  I know my elementary students look up to our high school students and really LOVE those students who are athletes.  Typically, in a NORMAL school year we would invite some of these athletes to our elementary schools/classrooms to help run our unit reviews and of course during basketball season, we make it a competition within our classrooms and use the brackets!  This year will be a little different but our students will still be super engaged because I have included some MYSTERY PIXEL ART for the review tasks! 

As the teacher you will use one bracket and divide your students into 8 groups or use multiple brackets and let your students compete individually!  I love to take the defeated players in one competition and move them to another bracket so that the competition can continue.

Students who advance within the bracket continue in the competition (depending on how you set up your competition).... Those students who are defeated can start a new bracket OR can just continue to complete the tasks at their own pace or in a small group at the "Teacher's Huddle." 

Right now these challenges are available for 2-4 grade students.  Grab them from my TPT store today!
