Next, tell students to find and walk to a card anywhere in the room. &nbsp;They will begin the activity by writing on their Scoot recording page at the same number of the card where they are standing. (So if they walk to card #14, they will write their answer for that problem in box #14.)<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #003366;\">As a Write the Room Game<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of playing this as a scoot game, you could also make it a write the room type of activity. Place the cards throughout the room and your students can travel around the room during class to find each card. This is a good alternative to a traditional scoot game because students will not feel rushed to complete each problem.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3832 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3832 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-683x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-683x1024.jpg.webp 683w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-200x300.jpg.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest-400x600.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest.jpg.webp 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/decimal-computation-penguin-pinterest.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Teaching Your Kids to Play Scoot<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You may want to plan out the direction and path of the rotation before beginning, but you can also simply have them walk randomly to a new spot. &nbsp;The activity continues until students have traveled to each of the 28 cards.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don&rsquo;t have to use all 28. &nbsp;You can use only the number of students in your classroom if it is less, but we have found that having a few extra helps with the flow of the scoot game. &nbsp;Students can travel to another card if the one they are headed towards becomes occupied before they get there. &nbsp;If you have more than 28 students, they can either double up at a card if needed or you can direct them to check their work for a few minutes if all the spots are taken.<\/p>\n<p>An answer key is provided for easy grading purposes or if you want &nbsp;your students to self-check. &nbsp;Many teachers use Scoot games as a review for an assessment, so students can check their answers to determine if they need additional practice or support before the assessment.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to use only specific cards as Task cards, we have also provided a separate recording page. &nbsp;You can use this page to assign specific&nbsp;numbers of tasks or even specific card numbers to particular students.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\">***** You will find all 28 Penguin Decimal Computation Scoot cards and the recording pages described above here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/pdf\/math\/decimals\/decimal%20computation%20center%20penguins.pdf\">Decimal Computation Scoot<\/a>&nbsp;*****<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might also like:<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/adding-subtracting-decimals\/\">Adding and Subtracting Decimals Task Cards<\/a>&nbsp; (Includes word problems)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/adding-subtracting-decimals-game\/\">Adding &amp; Subtracting Decimal Games<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Penguin Decimal Computation Scoot game is great for practice or review this winter in your fourth or fifth grade classroom!
