I like resources where you can create them once, and use them over and over. This matching game was a fun competition for my students to review expressions. Any time I can turn an activity into a competition, they students buy in! Thank you for a well created activity.

What a great activity. It combined a game they know and enjoy and the algebra concepts that we are focusing on. They really enjoyed themselves and reinforced their knowledge of expressions too.
