Description
Add a twist to traditional task cards with this fun and engaging whole class powerpoint game! Teams will choose "lucky ducks" after each round if they successfully add and subtract the rational expressions.
Objective:
Students will find the sum or difference of two rational expressions. Common denominators and uncommon denominators are both included. Required skills include factoring binomials with a greatest common factor, factoring difference of perfect squares and factoring trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1.
I love using whole class games to keep things exciting while students practice new concepts but so many games leave teams waiting around until it is their turn. I also hate when one team is in the clear lead and the others give up because they know they can't win. So I designed a game that would solve these problems and I think you will love it as much as I do!
You will give each team the first task card and a few minutes to simplify the rational expressions. When time is up, all teams will reveal their answers. Teams that answer correctly get to pick a duck from the "pond." When you click on their chosen duck, point values are revealed.
Here's the catch! Sometimes, the duck will reveal that they have earned between 1 and 5 points. However, some ducks reveal that they lose points, can steal points from another team, must give points to other teams or switch scores. This means that the winning team changes frequently throughout the game and they won't know who wins until the final round. They will try to save their points by building alliances with other teams!
What's included?
- 10 task cards with 2 questions each.
- PowerPoint Presentation with 50 "lucky ducks"
- Ducks pre-linked to random point values
- Answer Keys for all task cards
- One page at-a-glance teacher answer sheet for easy checking
Don't forget to come back and leave a review to earn TPT credits toward future purchases!
