Combinations & Permutations TRASHKETBALL Maths Game | No-Prep Year 8 Review Activity

Let’s score points with Trashketball!

Trashketball is a no-prep maths game where students take shots to score points based on how quickly they answered the questions, but only if they are correct!

The game is playable with the whole class together, or you can play it as small groups. All questions and answers are included. This version is Year 8 Maths, Combinations & Permutations. It is a digital resource, no printouts required.

How It Works

• The game runs entirely on PowerPoint and/or Google Slides, and you can edit the questions and answers if you like.
• Make 3 teams, and set up a bin, and up to 3 shooting positions.
• The closest shooting position is worth 1 point, middle is 2 points, and the furthest away is 3.
• Start the first question.
• The teams race to answer the questions correctly on a piece of paper. When done, they hold up their answer.
• Yes, it is chaos, and so much fun!
• Once all teams have answered, tap the teams in order of completion to set the shooting order.
• Check the answer, which is provided.
• If correct, the first team gets 3 shots, 2nd gets 2, and 3rd gets 1 shot, from any position they want.
• Each shot that goes in is worth the points determined from that position.
• Add up the points and keep score on the board.
• The team with the most points at the end is the winner.
• Questions vary in difficulty and the answer is provided after each question.
