Turn your math lesson into a carnival game with this fun, outdoor activity. After reviewing the concept your class will be practicing briefly, split your class up into teams and head outdoors. These teams work to solve math questions and are rewarded for each right answer by popping a balloon filled with prizes! Although this lesson uses word problem involving the basic operations of adding, subtracting, multipling, and dividing, this motivational activity could be adapted for any material.</
