Description
Looking for a fun game for solving equations? Equations can be a difficult concept for some students to grasp. Most of the time, it is due to very common mistakes. In this challenge, students are faced with some common mistakes. Their job is to identify these mistakes so that they will not make the same mistakes in the future.
This is an engaging game that is great for holding students’ attention!
Directions:
★ For each challenge, students are to be given nine challenge cards.
★ Students should look through sides A and B on each card. One equation is solved correctly, while the other has a “common mistake”.
★ Students should choose which one is solved correctly and either circle it on their answer sheet or place it in the correct pile. (Answer sheets and category letters are both included.)
★ Students should continue until all nine cards are complete, and then they may move on to the next challenge.
Included in this activity (great for differentiation!):
♥ three different challenges with nine cards a piece:
– Challenge One: One- and Two- Step Equations: Positive Numbers Only
– Challenge Two: One- and Two- Step Equations: Positive and Negative Numbers
– Challenge Three: Multi-Step Equations
♥ ideas for the classroom
♥ answer sheet and key
♥ A and B signs for categorical organization
♥ reflection questions
These task cards are great for RTI, Common Core Review, Regular Class Review, Test Prep, Engagement, “I’m Finished” stations, and More!
Your students will love this solving equations activity!
