REFLECTION
The students seemed to be excited about playing Jeopardy. They had some really good discussions
about how to do the math, and overall, I think that it was a great activity. One student didnt seem
motivated at all to try until he saw that I had made a question specifically for him. This pulled him into
the game quickly!
