(Zero cute templates. 100% approved by kids who would rather die than show work on paper)
For years “review day” meant 30 phones out and me begging teenagers to care about quadratics.
Now the same kids are screaming “DISTRIBUTE THE NEGATIVE YOU ANIMAL” at 8:03 a.m. because someone just cost the class $2 million on a factoring question.
These are the only eight math kits that have survived 1,400+ live games with actual teenagers who think math is a personality trait they don’t have.
Steal them tomorrow. Your test scores will thank you with triple-digit gains.
1. “Factor That Mess” Speed Kit – The One That Ended “I Can’t Factor” Forever
(Algebra 1 & 2)
50 ugly quadratics.
Clean ones, GCF first, a≠1, difference of squares in disguise, and 5 primes to crush souls.
2026 power-up pricing:
- 2x multiplier → $3,000
- Streak bonus → $600
- Insurance → $1,500
Result: Strong kids chase multipliers. Weak kids buy insurance and learn through repetition.
Lowest group accuracy by end of game: 85%+
Real story: Malik went from failing every quiz in September to beating seniors in April. Still sends me high-score screenshots in college.
2. “Graph This Before Your Neighbor Does” – Trust No One Edition
(Geometry/Algebra 2)
Every question = Desmos graph ↔ equation or key feature.
Includes vertex form, piecewise nightmares, and restricted domains.
Run in Trust No One once per unit.
The scream when someone freezes the kid who actually knows piecewise functions is the best sound in education.
3. Unit Circle Boss Battle – The Revenge Arc Everyone Remembers
(Precalc/Trig)
One 400–500 HP boss with 3 phases:
Phase 1: exact values & quadrants
Phase 2: reference angles + coterminal
Phase 3: cofunction identities from hell
My 2024 seniors still talk about dying at 11 HP on phase 3.
We replayed it the next day purely for vengeance.
They destroyed the trig portion of the final.
4. “Solve This or Everyone Loses” – Certified Emotional Terrorism
(Twice a year maximum)
Multi-step equations/inequalities/systems.
Wrong answer = entire class loses 10–15% of current cash.
I unleash it right before winter and spring break.
Collective scream when someone forgets to distribute the negative is cinema.
Systems accuracy jumped from 68% → 93%.
5. Digital SAT Math – No Calculator (The +72 Point Machine)
(Juniors every Thursday)
Exact College Board question distribution:
8 linear | 6 quadratics | 4 exponentials | 3 passport to advanced math
Average SAT Math gain last year: +72 points
One kid went 490 → 680 and cried in my room after school.
Still the best moment of my career.
6. “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” Linear Systems – Common Mistake Edition
Every wrong answer is the exact mistake kids make:
- Switched signs
- Arithmetic error
- Forgot to multiply second equation
- Distribution failure
They don’t just solve it — they diagnose why the other choices exist.
I’ve had 5-minute arguments about distribution because someone remembered losing $800k last time.
7. Error Analysis Power-Up Kit – The Test-Correction Killer
Every question = worked problem with one deliberate mistake.
Examples:
- Factored x²−16 as (x−4)(x+4)
- Solved 2(x+3)=10 → x=8
- Graphed y=−2(x+1)²+3 with vertex (−1,−3)
This single kit fixed test corrections forever.
They finally understand finding the mistake is harder than doing it right.
8. Statistics & Probability Madness – The Day Before State Test Miracle
Questions rotate:
- Mean/median/mode from dot plots
- Two-way table probability
- Standard deviation interpretation
- “Which graph matches this situation?”
Kids who sleep during stats suddenly care because there’s a $5 million multiplier on the line for the standard deviation question.
Non-Negotiable Math Question Rules (Break These and Die)
- Every wrong answer must be a believable mistake
- Include at least one decimal/rounding trap per 10 questions
- Never put positive and negative versions of the same number unless testing signs
- Always show full work in the explanation box — kids actually read it when they lose money
- Max 80 questions per kit (50–60 is perfect) → recycle 3–4 times
The One Kit I Regret (So You Don’t Make It)
200-question “everything” final review monster.
42 minutes of slow death.
Never again.
Math review doesn’t have to be quiet torture.
It just has to make teenagers care more about fake money than their GPA.
These eight kits turned my classroom into a casino where the currency is quadratics and the drug is bragging rights.
Try “Factor That Mess” first on Friday.
When the kid who’s failed every test all year hits a 27-streak and screams “I’M HIM” at the top of his lungs, you’ll delete your review worksheets the same day.
Math can make teenagers feel something.
With Gimkit, that feeling is usually victorious rage.
Good enough for me.
Save this.
Steal every kit.
Your classroom is about to hit unsafe decibel levels.
Your test scores are about to hit the roof.
