Gotta Engage Em All

Prep: Hide index cards with numbers appropriate for

grade level around the room (Fourth grade goes through the
hundred thousands). These will be your Pokemon.

Engage: Play the beginning of the Pokemon theme song.

Address your Trainers (S) and let them know that rare
Pokemon have been released inside your classroom it is
their quest to CATCH THEM ALL.

Core: Students can only capture Pokemon with a skilled

throw of their Pokeball. Pokemon will only be captured if

they can successfully, write the number in all forms, word,
standard, and expanded (tell students that the three
forms are the three evolutions of the Pokemon). Students
can gain experience points (XP) by rounding their Pokemon
to the highest place value. Students can compare their
Pokemon to other Pokemon in the room by using inequality
signs. This will let students know how strong their
Pokemon will be in battle. Students want to CATCH
THEM ALL and the student with the most successfully

caught Pokemon will be THE VERY BEST. Facilitate and

assess students while they are working around the room.
Bring students back to their Pokestops (Desks) and have
them discuss their finds to determine the best Pokemon
trainer.
