How a Jeopardy-style math review works

Many teachers and tutors want a Jeopardy-style math quiz because it turns review into a game the whole room can follow. The hard part is writing enough accurate questions that match the unit you just taught, and that is where generating them from your own notes saves time.

  • Questions drawn from the exact pages or slides you are reviewing
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats in one set
  • Explanations on every question for quick discussion after each reveal
  • Study in the browser on the Free plan, with exports on paid plans
Example math questions for a Jeopardy-style quiz
What is 3/4 of 28?21, because 28 divided by 4 is 7, and 7 times 3 is 21.
Solve 2x + 5 = 17.x = 6, because subtracting 5 leaves 2x = 12, and dividing by 2 gives x = 6.
What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 and a height of 6?30, because area is one half times base times height, so one half times 10 times 6 is 30.
What is the derivative of x cubed?3x squared, because the power rule multiplies by the exponent and lowers it by one.
What is 15% of 80?12, because 0.15 times 80 equals 12.

Questions from your notes

Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a worksheet, and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions.

Explanations included

Every question comes with an explanation, so students learn why an answer is right, not just which letter to pick.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the Free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your learning system.

How it works

Upload your math material

Add the chapter PDF, lecture slides or your typed notes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set of questions from the topics you covered.

Sort into Jeopardy-style categories

Group the questions by topic and assign point values yourself, then run the round with your class.

Start with the material you already have. Upload the worksheet, chapter or slides, and DeckOwl produces questions in the formats you choose. Check the answers against your own worked examples, especially on multi-step problems, then group the questions into categories and assign point values.

Students get more from the round when they hear the reasoning behind each answer. Each explanation can be read aloud after a question closes, which keeps the focus on the method.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Jeopardy-style math review include?

Many reviews work well with five categories of five questions, which is 25 total, and you can shorten it for a short class period. Start with the topics covered most recently, since students remember those best.

How can I check that the math answers are correct?

Work through each answer by hand, especially problems with several steps, units or rounding. Ask students to show their steps during the round so mistakes are easy to spot.

Can I export a math quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Is there a free plan to try this?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports require a paid plan. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
