1. An Extra Point Quiz

2. Are You Smarter than a Pre-Calc Student is a game in which the first 10 questions the class is playing the game together to earn extra credit points that are accumulated as a group. If the game advances to the bonus question, the students will then be playing individually to risk +/- 5 more extra credit points.

3. In the classroom designate 10 students to act as the players in for the game. The remaining classroom students will act as classmates and the audience in the game. The student players will each pick a number between 1 and 10. The number will correspond to the questions for which that student will act as the player.

4. Play starts with question and player number 1. During play, each player can choose a pre-calc "classmate", who may be called upon for assistance. For each question there will be a new player and a new classmate is picked from those who have not yet played in that game. Once the question is read, the player will have 60 seconds to answer the question.
