Connect: A Math- Based Free For All (Solving trinomials when a = 1)
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Connect is a math-based card game that engages students. They can practice any math skill and have fun in this fast-paced environment. Students use flashcard-like playing cards and math symbols to match each other's cards. When there is a match, both players shout out the answer to the shown equation, and the fastest player wins!
The catch is, there could be multiple matches in a round when the top cards are taken off, creating a chain reaction of fun!
The best part is, you can edit the cards using Google Slides to fit any of your needs! This game can be used for ANY skill. Currently, the game is set up for solving trinomials when a = 1, but you can replace equations as you see fit. It's easy change the cards to addition, fractions, percent, solving equations, factoring, etc.
Even though the game is designed for math, you could switch the game from math equations to sight words, rhyming words, description words, science words, important dates in history, etc. The cards are editable!
Contents:
* 90 cards (6 sheets)
-80 EDITABLE equation cards
-10 Connect cards
-6 blank cards
* Instruction Manual with complete gameplay description
Helpful hint: Printing out the sheets on cardstock or laminating the cards will help make them last longer.

Math Links- Equation of a Line Given Two Points(like the NYT game "Connections")
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Have you ever played the New York Times game, "Connections"? This worksheet combines this premise with math to put an exciting spin on learning.
This version concentrates on finding the equation of a line given two points.
Students will solve or simplify the sixteen problems. Then they will inspect the answers and try to find similarities. The sixteen answers can be grouped into four smaller sub groups ranging in difficulty from easy to tricky to find (yellow, green, blue, purple). Each group will have a distinct trait that puts them in this group.
Students can check to make sure a group is correct before trying to find another group. If they guess wrong, they check off a mistake box. Student should try to get all four groups with the least amount of mistakes!
How this activity can be used:
- Classroom Activity: Use it as an engaging group activity in math class to foster collaboration and critical thinking among students.
- Homework Assignment: Assign it as homework to reinforce concepts taught in class and provide extra practice with equations and pattern recognition.
- Math Centers: Incorporate it into math centers or stations for students to work on independently or in small groups.
- Test Preparation: Use it as a review tool to help students prepare for an upcoming test.
- Enrichment Activity: Offer it to advanced students as an enrichment activity to challenge their problem-solving abilities.
- Substitute Teacher Plans: Include it in lesson plans for substitute teachers to ensure students have a meaningful and educational activity to work on in your absence.
- Home- Schooling: Use the worksheet at home for additional practice.
- Assessment Tool: Employ it as a formative assessment to gauge students' understanding of equations and their ability to recognize patterns and group related concepts.
