Math Bowl is a series that I have created to help keep your students "on a roll" in math! (Cheesy, I know!) In this activity, students compete against each other either individually or with a partner as they work to solve word problems. The objective of this game is for students to achieve a “strike” (knock down all of the bowling pins). The best part about this resource is that it is self-correcting!

This resource includes 10 Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Forms Task Cards that students must work through. Answers are provided on the bowling pins for students to cross out (aka "knock down") as they solve each problem. The first team that achieves a strike is the winner.

Skills Covered:

- Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides

What's Included?
