Semi-Log Plot Bingo Game

Bingo Cards

This semi-log plot bingo game features 40 different bingo cards (featuring the letters A-X) to print to allow for a multitude of class sizes.

This is a fun way to practice graphing coordinate pairs on a semi-log plot graph.

Each student is given a printed semi-log plot with 72 different points marked with the letters of the alphabet from A to X.

The teacher calls out a coordinate. Students must locate the coordinate on their graph, identify the letter of that coordinate, and mark that letter off on their bingo cards.

With bingo cards, I tend to print a class set of bingo cards and slide them into dry erase pockets so they can be reused from class to class. When we’re done, I slide them out of the pockets and put them into my file cabinet for next year.

Bingo Call Sheets

I created two different versions of bingo call sheets for this semi-log plot bingo game. One features both the ordered pairs and the corresponding letter from the semi-log plot sheet. The other features only the ordered pairs.

In my own classroom, I slide the call sheet into a dry erase pocket so I can mark off each problem as I call it out.

But you could also laminate the call sheet and cut it apart into individual cards that could be drawn from a small bowl. If you did this with the version without answers, you could turn this into a small group center activity where students played by themselves in a group.

PowerPoint Slides

If you have access to Microsoft PowerPoint, I have created a set of slides that can be projected to display the ordered pairs on the screen. Animations should make the answer appear at the bottom of the slide upon a click.

There are actually two powerpoint files included. They include the same problems but in scrambled order in case you want to play more than once!

Don’t have PPT? I did try my hand at uploading the file to Google slides. It seemed to handle the animations just fine.
