Plot the point and show how easy this is. Now, imagine you re at war and you re hunting enemy ships. Hand out three Battleship game boards to each student. Using a transparency of the game board, explain to the class how the game is played. Unlike the board game, the ships can be placed diagonally.
Students work in pairs until one person sinks all of the other person's ships or time runs out.
If time runs out, the person with the most hits wins. Pair up students and let them go to war. Exploring I think students will really enjoy this type of learning. I ll have them relocate their ships and play again. For homework have them play a game with someone at home.
