Questions taken from FSA and PARCC Practice Tests

2. ZONK! directions
Each team will take turns choosing a button that will lead to questions with 200, 400, 600, 800, points, ZONK!, or a Double ZONK!
If a question is drawn, your team must correctly solve the problem to earn points.
Drawing a ZONK! means that your team loses the turn and does not earn any points, Double ZONK! means that your team will lose points.
When all cards are drawn, the team with the most points wins. HAVE FUN! 

Instructions: View slideshow and click on the button to move to the slide with that question. Once on the question slide, click once to move to the answer slide. Then, click “Return to Board” to move back to start again.
Note: If you use this same game board to make multiple games, you will want to move around the ZONK buttons so that students do not know which button leads to a ZONK. 21 22 23 24 25
