On the class board, write each category (lessons) on the horizontal axis, and its $ amount under each category (on the vertical axis).
Keep in mind the number of questions for each lesson may vary so the number of rows in each column may likewise be different (e.g. lesson 1 has 3 $100, 2 $200, and 3 $300 for a total of 8 questions while lesson 2 has 3 $100, 4 $200, and 2 $300 for a total of 9 questions).
Do the same for lessons 2-6.
Make sure you have the questions and answers on hand.
If you have a different method, feel free to use it!

Divide the class into 4 or 5 teams.
Teams take turns choosing a topic, dollar amount ($100, $200, $300), and a question in that category without revealing the question itself.
e.g. 'We want Lesson 1, $300, Question 2.’
After a question is picked, cross out that specific question on the board so it could not be picked for a second time.
Read out the question and give teams 60-90 seconds to answer each question. Teammates must collaborate before providing an answer.
If the answer is correct, the team earns the amount of 'money' the question was worth. You and/or the teams can tally their total points.
If the answer is incorrect, the question stays up. At which point, invite the other teams to raise their hand for the opportunity to answer the question (this is called a ‘steal').
The team who raises their hand first gets the opportunity to answer within 30 seconds.
If that team manages to provide the correct answer, they get points. Otherwise, provide the opportunity to the team who raises their hand second or next.
Keep cycling until all teams have had an opportunity to answer or until no hands are raised.
In this case, the answer is revealed and none of the teams get points.
Regardless of which team manages (or not) to answer, move on to the next team in order and ask them to choose another question from the board.
In doing so all teams have an equal chance to pick and answer a question.
The game continues until all questions have been exhausted or until time runs out.
For the last round, double the amount of points each team gains or loses.
The team with the most points wins the game.
Optional additions:
Any team which fails to provide a correct answer loses half or full points allotted to that question. This also includes steals.
Using this format also means that losses and gains are both doubled in the last round.
Point losses may encourage more strategic risk taking.
