The document describes a math game called "Trashketball" played in groups. Students first make dry-erase necklaces to hold while playing. The game assigns math problems to groups based on letter picks and allows shooting baskets for bonus points if answers are correct. Rules specify that each group member gets a letter, problems are solved alone or with group help, and shooting adds 2-3 bonus points for correct answers.

• My high school students loved wearing the dry-erase
index card necklaces. Who knew? You can find
instructions on how to make them here.

necklaces/
• I play the music (from YouTube) while they are reading
the instructions.
• I draw popsicle sticks with M A T H O on them so it’s
random. In groups of 4, one kid takes two letters.
• I give 1 pt for a correct answer. 2 additional points for
a 2-pt shot, 3 points from the 3-point line.
