I am impressed by the game’s simplicity and even more so by its adaptability to various grade levels. My students enjoyed playing TEAM UP!
The directions are so intuitive that students started playing the instant the cards were placed on the table. For weaker or stronger students, swapping grade level decks was easy and unnoticeable.
My favorite part of TEAM UP! is that it offers students problems beyond Depth of Knowledge Level 1. As a result, students are challenged to develop more rigorous understandings of the mathematics.
