Productive Models |
 Write each of the expressions below on an index card. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile on the table.
| Expressions to write on cards: |
2(x + 1)
3(x + 4) |
x(x + 2)
2(x + 4) |
x(x + 4)
2(3x + 1) |
3(x + 2)
3(3x + 2) |
x(x + 3)
2(4x + 1) |
 The first player draws a card from the pile and then uses the algebra tiles constructed in the Hands-On Lab on page 560 to model the product. Player 2 checks the model and awards one point for a correct answer. Next, player 1 rolls the number cube. The number rolled is the value of x. Player 1 then uses this value and their model to find the value of the product. For example:
Player 1 is awarded 1 point for finding the correct value of the expression. Player 2 then draws a card and follows the same procedure.
Play until all cards have been used. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
