This is a 24 card game of I have who has. Students look at balance scales, write a 2 step equation, and then solve it. Several things make my games unique. One is that I have an answer page that shows all 24 cards on it that one person holds so that if the game gets stuck that person can help move it along. The students will beg to be the person on "loop patrol". It is called loop because the game will loop around the classroom back to the person who starts the game.
Teaching is a career change for me. I spent almost 20 years in the engineering field. I am now going into my 9th year of teaching math in the middle school.
