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

These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice Order of Operations (BIDMAS, BODMAS, PEDMAS), 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.

The red cards consist of questions involving addition and subtraction with multiplication and division. It also includes questions such as 8-2+3 which tests student’s knowledge of the equal importance of addition and subtraction.

The Yellow Cards consist of questions involving brackets and some easy powers.

The Green Card consists of more challenging Order of Operations questions including more challenging powers combined with brackets.

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 questions will increase.

They may also pick up either a Steal Card, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, a 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 to play in small groups 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.

It's time for your child/students to start learning their multiplication facts. The Multiplication Study Booklets are a great collection of booklets that students can create and use nightly to study their facts.

Parents and students will love this handy guide for independent or partner practice. Students can individualize their booklets and use the different strategies to understand the concept. Also, a great set to use at a Math Workstation for students to practice and quiz one another.

Multiplications Study Booklets include:

Complete set of templates to create each booklet 1's-12's. Each booklet contains 8 pages.

1. Cover

2. Study My Facts Page

3. Flash It- Flash Card Pocket and set of flashcards

4. Repeat It- Repeat addition

5. Group it- Equal Grouping

6. Arrays- Array strategy

7. Practice it- Page

8. Sing It

After students put together their booklets they can fill it out with all the different strategies. Pack it in their folder, and students have a nightly study guide. Each booklet comes with a flashcard pocket and complete set of flashcards. Templates in black and white.

Each booklet requires two pieces of construction paper and glue.

Studying Multiplication Facts should be fun and meaningful. The Multiplication Booklet set brings both of these elements into play.

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with integer exponents. Aligned to the common core standards, Level Ups provide 5 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite exponent and fraction skills all the way up to simplifying complex expressions involving integer exponents.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review integer exponents after teaching the concept, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:
