Instructions for Setup

Student Setup:
1. Give each student one BINGO problems sheet, one BINGO squares sheet, and one BINGO card.
2. During independent prac@ce, have students solve all of the BINGO problems. Answers should be wriYen
directly on the worksheet.
3. Once students have nished solving all of the problems, they should transfer their answers onto the
BINGO squares sheet, as follows:
Each BINGO problems sheet has the numbers 1-24 within the boxes. These numbers match the
numbers on the BINGO squares sheet. As you can see, they both have #1-24.
Students will look at the answer they got for problem 1 on the BINGO problems sheet. Then, they
will nd the BINGO square that has the number 1. Students will transfer their answer from problem
1 directly onto the line in that box.
Students will repeat with the rest of the problems un@l their BINGO squares are lled with the
matching answers from their worksheet.

The answer to problem 1 on the BINGO problems page gets lled into box 1 on the BINGO squares page. The
same happens for the rest of the problems through 24.

Instructions for Setup

Student Setup (con:nued):
4. Once all of the answers are lled in, students will cut out each of their BINGO squares and glue them onto
the BINGO card. The squares can be glued in any order of the students choosing. This way, each student
will have a unique card for BINGO.

When all cards have been completed, your class is ready to

play the game!

How to Play
Object of the Game: To be the rst to get BINGO by having a full row, column, or diagonal covered by the
items that have been called.
GeFng started:
1. Each student should have their completed BINGO card and worksheet in front of them.
2. Give each student a handful of counters or chips to use to cover their cards as they play.
3. Have all students put one counter over the FREE space and leave all other spaces empty.
4. The teacher should have all of the calling cards shued and lying face down in front of him/her.
5. The teacher should also have the teacher answer key ready (a spare copy of the worksheet is also
recommended).
Playing the Game:
1. Pick up one of the face-down calling cards and say the number aloud to your students. You may also
choose to read the problem from the worksheet that matches that calling card number.
2. Students should nd that number on their BINGO card and cover that box with a counter. It is also
recommended that you give students a few seconds to check their work and conrm the answer they
have wriYen down for that problem. Do not give students the answer at this point.
3. On the teacher answer key, put an X beside the number that you just called in order to keep track.
This way you wont repeat any numbers, and youll easily be able to check a students BINGO card
when he/she calls out BINGO.
4. Con@nue calling out numbers un@l someone yells BINGO. At that point, have the student show you
his/her card. You need to check two things in order for the student to have won BINGO:

Check that you have actually called the numbers from his/her complete row, column, or diagonal.
Check that the student has wriYen the correct answers to those problem numbers.

5. If the student has BINGO (all numbers called and all answers correct), he/she is the winner! Have
everyone clear their cards and start the game again. If the students does not have BINGO, keep
calling un@l someone else calls BINGO.

Notes
Using the BINGO game as a center:
This BINGO game also works great to have as a center. When used as a center, be sure to teach your
students how to pick one person to be the captain of the game. The captain should take the role of the
teacher (shuing and picking the calling cards and using the answer key to conrm when someone has
BINGO). The role of the captain should rotate each round.
Dieren:a:ng this BINGO game:
Do you have students working one, two, three, or even more grade levels below what youre teaching?
Thats no problem with this game! You can have those students work on completely dierent problems
(as long as there are 24 of them) and ll out the BINGO board with their own answers. If they get BINGO,
just check to make sure that they have the correct answers to the problems from their own worksheet for
those numbers called.
Using the BINGO problems as task cards:
If you do not want to play BINGO, you can cut out the problems from the BINGO problems pages and use
them as task cards. Have students solve the problems independently, in pairs, or in small groups.
