Copy each expression below onto an index card. Shuffle the cards and lay them face down in a stack on the table. Let one of the number cubes represent your x-value and the other number cube represent your y-value.
| Expressions to put on cards: |
xy
4y - 3
5x + y |
x + y
x + y - 6
x - y |
2x - 2y
2x + 3y - 2
5x - 3y |
3x + 2
x - 2y + 4
3x + y + 3 |
Player 1 begins by turning the top card over and rolling the number cubes. Both players use their scratch paper to evaluate the expression if x equals the value on the x number cube and y equals the value on the y number cube. Next, as a group, use your graphing calculator to check the answer. You receive 1 point for each correct answer. Play until all the cards have been used.
