  1. MATH JEOPARDY Brought to you by the Mathematical Association of America Press the space bar to continue.

  2. The Rules • This game plays the same as traditional Jeopardy, except there is only one round and then Final Jeopardy. • No one is allowed to ring in until the host has finished reading the answer. • Once a category and point value have been chosen, click that point value to go to the answer.

  3. The Rules • When an answer is on-screen, push the space bar to have the question appear. Then a click on the u-turn button will return the game to the Jeopardy screen. • You may decide to appoint a judge to decide who rings in first. • Push the space bar to continue on to the gameboard…
