Time Required
	The amount of time for each aspect of the learning experience:

Making the list and the key can take an hour, depending on how many cards you want to make.

Making the cards can take about 30 minutes. However, you can have students make the cards for homework or offer it as an extra credit project. Another timesaver is to use number cards and have the questions on a list like the answer key. Then you can use the numbers for all units.

I usually do this in one 42-minute period. If the students seem particularly weak, you can have them do the studying part for one class and compete during the next class. I like doing it all in 42 minutes. It keeps everyone on task and the lesson doesn’t drag.
