Students will enjoy completing ratio or proportions with this matching card game.
Make math fun with this matching card game. It can be used for reviewing or evaluating specific skills. It can also be used as an activating strategy or simply use it on a game day. The game takes approximately 20 minutes or less to play and is quick and easy to grade.
Print the worksheet. Card stock is recommended. Card stock will increase the durability of the cards and make them easier to use. Cut the cards apart and save each set of cards in an envelope. Students can work individually or in pairs to play the game. When the game is finished, the cards will form a 3 x 4 grid .
Each card contains problems and answers around the edge of the card. The students will match the problem on one card to the correct answer on another card. Students should orient the cards so that the card descriptions are on the bottom of the card. To check to see if the cards have been matched correctly, simply check to see if the letters in the middle of the cards are in the correct order.
My students were able to solve the equations easily, but were challenged by putting the cards in the correct order. They really had to reason with it and I enjoyed observing their thought processes.
