Students will practice comparing real numbers represented as radicals (square roots), repeating decimals, terminating decimals, fractions, and integers. All of the numbers are located between -6 and 6 to increase the challenge when comparing. Often times the same number will be represented in more than one way. Played just like the traditional card game, Math War is a game played in pairs or small groups with an objective of obtaining the greatest number of cards. Students turn over one card at a time and compare the value of the number on the card. Whichever student has the card with the largest value keeps all the cards. If the value is the same, students flip three cards upside down and one right side up and compare. The game is over when a student has all of the cards or the time is up.
