Inter-class Tournaments

Inter-class Tournaments allow your students to compete in friendly competitions with their classmates. Use any of the 29 available games for the tournament. If you use speed math, please see special instructions below. After you create your tournament and deploy it your students, the system will randomly match them up to compete against each other in pairs (unless you choose to set the matchups). If there are an odd number of students, one of the students will receive a free pass to the next round. As students finish their games within the tournament, the system updates the scores dynamically. These tournaments are kind of like the NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament. The tournament winner will get to print out a special certificate commemorating their victory.

Step 1. Log on as a teacher and click the "inter-class Tournaments " icon.

Step 2.) Click on "Add New Tournament"

Step 3.) Fill out the information for the tournament. Note - ignore the "Category" menu unless making a speed math tournament. If using speed math, indicate the category (+, -, x, or /). Students must select the same category when participating in the Speed Math tournament, or the score will not get recorded. For example, if you select addition, students will have to select the addition option in the speed math game for score to count.

Step 4.) Click Save
