Description
This fast paced and exciting game will make adding and subtracting rational expressions an immersive learning experience that will have your students begging for more time to play! Tailored for teams of 3-4 players, this game transforms the often challenging task of solving problems into a thrilling castle siege!
How it works:
◻︎Print and cut up the Castle Attack problems (1 set per group)
◻︎Place each group’s problems in a storage bag labeled by group numbers. Place the bags on a table or desk near the front of the room and close to where you are standing. Make sure students know which set of questions is theirs.
◻︎Print (and laminate if desired) a copy of the answers.
◻︎Print one answer recording sheet for each student
To Play
1. Form teams of 3 or 4 students and give students 60 seconds to draw a castle on the board for their team. During the game, teams will be able to change their own score or manipulate the score of their competition by answer questions correctly.
2. Give each team 3 marks (stars, X’s, smiley faces, etc) to represent their three lives.
3. To start the game, a representative of each team runs to the front table, grabs one problem from their bag, and goes back to their team to work on the problem together. Students should ALL work the problem on their recording sheet. (I have them turn it in at the end of the period for a completion grade). When completed, one member of the team shows the answer to the teacher. If the answer is accurate, the representative can either remove two lives from a different team, remove 1 life from 2 different teams, or add one life on to their own castle. After they attack the castles, the representative chooses another problem, and takes it back to the team and the process starts all over. I like to make sure a different representative comes up to check their answers and attack the castle, each round.
4. The team with the most lives at the end of the game wins.
