Activity No.6: WHO IS RIGHT? PLEASE COME FORWARD:

Call 4 students to answer the following expressions written on each flashcard,

the first student who will be able to raised his/her hand, will be given the chance to
give the correct answer. If could be able to give the correct answer, the student will
be ask to come forward, but if he gets the incorrect answer the other remaining
students will be given another chance to answer. Whoever comes near the
blackboard will win the game.
