Group Activity Cards

Algebra

Number of players: 4
Materials: Index cards, counters
Counter Cover-up

Copy onto cards the equations written below, one per card. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile. Draw a 3 × 3 grid on each of four sheets of paper. Make four different game boards by writing the following numbers in different squares of each grid: 10, 2, -1, 4, 8, 6, -2, 12, 7.

Equations to put on cards:
 
 
-5x = 30
 
 
9k = 81
 
3x = 12
 
 
2e = -2
 
 
5a = 20
 
8h = 8
 
3q = 27
 
6h = -12
 
 
 
 
5t = 35
 
-4b = 24
 
4p = 8
 
6h = 48
 

Each group member takes a card and solves the equation shown. Place a counter on the solution. Continue in this way until one group member completely covers the squares on his or her game board with counters. The other group members should verify the winner's solutions.
