Bingo Cards

The idea is simple. Instead of solving exercises in serial form in the classroom, it is better to wrap the solving exercises experience with a game similar to Bingo. The students will love it and the teacher will have a very nice time!

This extension provides Calc with a tool able to create Bingo Cards and the corresponding interactive document to play the game in the classroom.

The teacher type in the Bingo sheet the questions and the corresponding answers and he/she gets the cards in the Bingo Cards sheet.

A printer is required to print the BINGO cards and a scissor to cut them apart while the classroom should be equipped with a projector and a computer running OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

In my case I come to the need of such an application when I applied bingo game (along with a appropriate Geogebra file: see my webpage http://users.sch.gr/epdiaman) in order to teach graphical representations of trigonometric functions. The experience was great while it turned out that this game is appropriate for various educational needs. Since I did not found any particular application to make a selection of random and different (if possible) combinations of user defined objects, I took the ride and I made my own using Calc features. I hope that this simple extension will proved to be useful for someone else as well.

This extension supports English, German, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish languages. If you feel that it would be nice to have this translated in your language as well do not hesitate to contact me.
