$5 - $10 9th Grade Algebra Games (by date, oldest first)

LESSON: ONE_STEP EQUATIONS PUZZLE GAME

GRADE LEVEL: MIDDLE SCHOOL

TIME FRAME: 1 HOUR

OBJECTIVE:

o The learner will work to solve one-step equations with rational numbers.

o The learner will solve equations that include decimals fractions, to solve for x.

MATERIALS:

o Scissors

o Zip lock bags

o Construction paper and glue

o Optional: lamination for storage and reuse. If you choose this, construction paper and glue will not be needed, as they will not glue the pieces to construction paper.

o Print out of puzzle for the instructor as an answer sheet.

PREPARATION:

Students will be working in pairs to complete the equations puzzle, which requires students to solve one-step equations with rational number. Place students in teams of two. Duplicate enough copies for each team to have one puzzle. Cut out the puzzle pieces and place them into a Ziplock bag.

Optional: You may laminate the puzzle pieces for reuse if you choose to keep the pieces to use one year to the next. However, you will not need construction paper and glue if lamination is chosen.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students what constitutes an equation.

Answer: An equation says that two things are equal, and may contain two or more

variables.

Ask students what constitute a rational number.

Answer: A number that you can put into fraction such a decimal, fraction, percent or

whole number.

Review how to work through a one-step equation using the following equations:

• 5x=80 Answer (16)

• x+-20=17 Answer: (37)

• x-(-10)=-10 Answer: (-20)

• x-4 1/3=2 2/3 Answer: (7)

HELPFUL VIDEO: (10 minutes)

Helpful Youtube video links included.

TEAM ACTIVITY: (30 minutes)

Provide each team with a puzzle in a Ziplock bag. Provide students 15-30 minutes to solve the equations and place the puzzle together. You may even encourage a competition to see which groups can complete the puzzle first providing prizes to first place, second place, and third place. Once they have the puzzle completed, have them glue it to a piece of construction paper if you have not chosen to laminate the game pieces for reuse.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)

Using an overhead projector or smart board projector that will display the puzzle pieces, work with the class to solve the puzzle. Students will check their answers.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY/HOMEWORK

Give students a blank chart and allow them to create a puzzle for that they can give to another group/student to complete. Make sure the student keeps a copy of the puzzle to act as the answer sheet.

TEACHER’S ANSWER SHEET

Each puzzle has the answers in itself before being cut into puzzle pieces. The equations on the outer edges of the puzzle will not have answers to match. This makes the puzzle more challenging

8th grade math teachers - looking for a fun and engating way to review concepts at the End of the Year? Need a great test prep tool to review before state assessments, the SBAC, or Common Core tests, or just play at the end of the year in 7th grade math?

Students will love this Jeopardy-like game to review Common Core standards. Categories include FUNCTIONS, NUMBER SYSTEMS, EXPRESSIONS & EQUATIONS, GEOMETRY, PROBABILITY & STATISTICS, AND VOCABULARY. Points range from 100 - 500, which reflect the increase in difficulty from 100-point basic review questions to 500-point questions that require students to apply their knowledge.

**FULLY EDITABLE** While the game is complete, it is also editable in PowerPoint, making it easy to add questions or change the level of difficulty based on your students' needs.

⭐FUNCTIONS: involve determining whether or not a graph or equation is a function, reading function, tables, graphs, and equations, and comparing functions.

⭐NUMEBR SYSTEMS: in this category students determine whether or not a number is rational, find approximate values for irrational numbers, convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, and compare values of both rational and irrational numbers.

⭐EXPRESSIONS & EQUATIONS: these problems have students use integer exponent properties, find the equation of a line, compare two values in scientific notation, and solve a system of equations with two equations (one solution).

⭐GEOMETRY: questions involve finding missing angle measurements, finding the volume of a cylinder, and answering questions about transformations.

⭐PROBABILITY & STATISTICS: students must read and understand scatter plots and double frequency tables. They must find the equation of a line of best fit, or a trend line.

⭐VOCABULARY : questions ask about transformation, angle pairs, types of decimals, rational and irrational numbers, and formulas for finding volume.

Objective: The objective of the game "Oops" is to get your teammates to guess a word without using certain pre-defined words or phrases associated with it - these are called "Oopsies"

Gameplay:

1. The clue giver selects a number from the selection board, revealing the word to be described as well as the "oopsies" associated with it.
2. The clue giver must then describe the word without using any of the "oopsies".
3. The guessers on the team try to guess the word based on the clues given. The guesser sits with their back turned to the slide, while the clue giver faces the slide.
4. The guesser can make as many guesses as they want within 1 minute.
5. If a teammate guesses the word correctly, the team earns a point. However, if the clue giver uses an "oopsie," they forfeit a point.
6. After the minute is up or the word is correctly guessed, play passes to the next team.
7. Play continues back and forth until all the slides have been used or a set number of rounds has been completed.
8. The team with the most number of points wins.

WORDS INCLUDED: Equation, Variable, Polynomial, Function, Expression, Term, Graph, Axis, Quadratic, Coordinate Plane, Parabola, Linear, Point, Algebra, Solve, Absolute Value, Distance, Rational, Integers, Quadrant, Formula, Solution, Constant, Inequality, Exponent, Coefficient, Asymptote, Domain, Undefined, Y intercept, Discriminant, Set

Teaching your students how to multiply 1-digit and 2-digit fractions through puzzles is a fun and engaging way for them to practice their math skills. Puzzles challenge students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills while reinforcing important mathematical concepts. By incorporating puzzles into the classroom, you can make learning more interactive and enjoyable for your students. This method also allows for hands-on learning as students physically manipulate pieces to find the correct answers. Additionally, puzzles provide immediate feedback, allowing students to self-assess their understanding of the material. Overall, using puzzles to teach multiplying fractions not only helps students grasp the concept more effectively but also makes learning fun and enjoyable.

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

🟢 Puzzle #1: Multiplying 1 Digit & 2 Digit Fractions

🟢 Puzzle #2: Multiplying 2 Digit Fractions

OBJECTIVES:

The learner will multiply two fractions together by multiplying the numerators and denominators. The learner will simplify the answer to multiplication.
