✨Unlock the Fun in Learning Solving One-Step Inequalities!✨

Engage your students with an exciting kinesthetic activity designed specifically for mastering one-step inequalities! With 10 interactive stations, this engaging learning activity will get your students moving and thinking critically.

How It Works:

• Start with a Student Sheet: Each student receives a scavenger hunt sheet to track their progress. Students may select where to begin, or you may assign them to a particular station.
• Solve and Record: At each poster, students solve the challenge problem at the bottom of the poster, record their answer on the student recording sheet, and find their next destination based on their answer.
• Explore and Discover: Once students find their answer, they are going to “sprint” (or walk calmly ☺) to the poster with their answer at the top of it.
• Collaborate and Compete: As they sprint (or walk calmly) to new stations, they can work cooperatively while reinforcing key concepts.

Why Choose Our Scavenger Hunt?

✅Promotes Active Learning: Keeps students engaged through movement and

collaboration.

✅Reinforces Key Skills: Focuses on understanding linear inequalities in a fun,
interactive way.

✅Flexible Setup: Perfect for any classroom environment—adaptable to your

These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice finding the Highest Common Factor (or Greatest Common Factor) and the Lowest Common Multiple (Least Common Multiple) of two or three numbers, with differentiation built in.

Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards. Both a UK version and a US version is included to take into account the specific wording used in each curriculum.

The red cards consist of questions involving simpler HCF and LCM questions that can be worked out by listing the factors and multiples of the given numbers.

The Yellow Cards of questions which require finding prime factors first.

The Green Card consists of more challenging questions involving 3 numbers, or factors of 7 and 13.

Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the question will increase. They may also pick up either steal, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.

Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies as play around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, use your judgement as to whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.

Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a double sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.

Full instructions are included as are answers.

A great end of year, seasonal game that still has educational merit. Suitable for all ages. This game is available in a 5 for 3 bundle. It is a game designed to explore probabilities, and how they change as time goes on. But can also be played just for fun as a way to develop strategic thinking. There are varied numbers of weather cards, and you use your knowledge of their probabilities to prepare yourself with items to go out in that weather. If a rain card is turned over, and you are prepared with an umbrella, well done! You keep your Item. But if a sunny card is turned over, and you have an umbrella, oh no! You lose your item. The winner is the last person to remain in the game at the very end. The game is playable in 2 different ways, independent and dependent probabilities, as defined by removing completely or returning and reshuffling the weather cards as you play. Both give great play experiences. We have already played this game with tutees, and they say it's our best game so far! Purchase it to find out why. It comes with easy-cut guides, full cheat sheets and probability tracking pages for players to keep track as cards are played and revealed. Makes for great fun, and powerful learning.
