Perimeter and Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Trashketball Math Game

Get your students engaged and moving while solving area and perimeter problems with triangles and trapezoids. Perimeter and Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Trashketball is a competitive and motivating math game that involves students finding the perimeter and area of triangles and trapezoids (decimals used in perimeter not area, some answers will be a decimal) and shooting baskets. There are 4 rounds in this game with 5 questions in each round. This resource includes a PDF & PowerPoint Slides.

The PowerPoint Slides can be uploaded into Google Drive and assigned through Google Classroom. It won't be a game this way but your students will be able to add a text box and answer the questions.

What's Included:

PDF that includes teacher information, black & white versions (slides, answer keys, rules)

PowerPoint Slides that include rules for students, 4 rounds in color (each on their own slide, NOT EDITABLE), answer keys, and a blank decorative slide to add more rounds if you wish.

Round 1 - find perimeter of triangles

Round 2 - find area of triangles

Round 3 - find perimeter of trapezoids

Round 4 - find area of trapezoids

You will need to be able to project the slides for all to see, a large container or trash can, a small ball or bean bag, and some tape to mark off shooting lines.
