Scavenger Game Rules
1. A scavenger hunt is a game where people travel around trying to collect a variety of objects or pieces of information.
a. Gather, answer, and use the items. 2. Stations – complete what you can at each Station, then progress to the following round.
a. After 7 minutes the timer will go off as a warning that your team should be moving on.
b. [2X] Station means two teams could be there at once.
3. Everyone start at Station – Base Camp
4. When you finish a station go to the Judge for Check-In Points.
a. You will be directed by the Judge to which stations are available to go to next.
5. Final timer chime means Times-Up!
a. Judge declares the Two Top Teams.
"Check It Out" – Fraction Lyrics based on Nicki Minaj rap
Step up in the party with my Like Denominators
All these haters mad because I’m so established - - - -[always on the bottom – established under the line]
They know I’m a beast yeah I’m a Fraction Savage
Some Fractions can reduce themselves
If you find the Greatest Common Factor
I’m Simplest Form in just so Lowest Terms
Other times it’s just me and Whole Fractions all alone
I can’t believe it
Fractions’ Amazing
This classrooms’ heating
This party’s blazin’
I can’t believe it, this beat is banging
I can’t believe it
(I can’t believe it)
Check it out (x3)
Yeah, yeah I’m feeling it now
Check it out (x3)
Step up in the party like name was Numerator
all these hating denominators ain’t got nothing on me
Honestly I gotta stay as fly as I can be - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [‘cuz numerators always fly on top of line]
If you compute with fractions, you get a super 5G - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - -[5G is a Fifth Grader]
Honestly with Like Denominators you can add, add, add
Others without Like Denominators oh my!
These’re Unlike Fractions you don’t need to ask why
You just gotta see with your eyes
I can’t believe it
Fractions’ Amazing
This classrooms’ heating
This party’s blazin’
I can’t believe it, this beat is banging
I can’t believe it
(I can’t believe it)
Check it out (x3)
Yeah, yeah I’m feeling it now
Check it out (x3)
Hey Check It Out (x4)
(yeah yeah I’m feeling it now)
Check it Out (x3)
Check this Fraction Out!
You got me in the Classroom, in the Classroom, just rocking like this
The SubSub
Yup, the Sub action
Came up - Ya! Now we Subtrac’n’
The reaction
Yup, what attraction
Addition, Why yes I would love some
How the Fractions they get mad cause they undone
