CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES WITH EGGSPERT

Practice math facts, spelling words, social studies content—just about anything related to classroom curriculum—with EGGSPERT.

Question-and-Answer Games

This is a great way to reinforce content! Pose a question to the students
playing. The first student to press his or her ANSWER BUTTON sets the
corresponding egg beeping and blinking. During the preset answer time,
the student must answer the question. After answering the question, or
when the timer runs out, the teacher resets play with a quick press of the
white CONTROL BUTTON. Here are some content ideas:
READINESS: colors, numbers, shapes
MATH:math facts, math problems, story problems, math vocabulary,
patterns, probability
LANGUAGE ARTS: spelling, vocabulary, grammar
SOCIAL STUDIES: geography terms, map and globe skills, vocabulary,
famous people, historic dates and places
SCIENCE: vocabulary,science terms, picture recognition, content
questions, plants, animals, human body

MATH READINESS—COUNTING AND CHARTING

Press the white CONTROL BUTTON to set the eggs in motion. If the last
remainingegg is blue, ask all students wearing blue pants to stand up.
Then create agraph on the chalkboard depicting the findings. HINT:You
can pre-select specific colors by moving the Player Select slide on the
desired color to the position on the right.

MATH—PROBABILITY

EGGSPERT can be used to generate data on probability. For example,
pose a probability question to your students: “In 20 consecutive spins,
how many times will each egg be the last egg lit?” Press the white CONTROL
BUTTON to set the eggs in motion. Have students chart their results.
This makes a great center activity.HINT:Turn the volume to its lowest
position so as not to disturb other students in the class.
