Students will love this FALL Halloween/Thanksgiving ZONK review game! This interactive game covers the Distributive Property and Simplifying Algebraic Expressions for Common Core State Standards 7.EE.A.1 and 6.EE.A.3.

This game includes engaging practice problems covering:

• Simplifying Expressions: Basic distribution like a(x+b)
• Distribution with Negatives: Simplifying expressions like −a(x−b)
• Combining Like Terms: Simplifying complex expressions, such as a(x+b)+cx
• Factoring Expressions: Identifying equivalent expressions by factoring (e.g., ax+ab=a(x+b))
• Distributive Property Word Problems (see Preview for exact problems)

You will be able to use this interactive PowerPoint review game as an entire class activity or as a station activity. The students work together in teams to choose a number on the screen. When the button is clicked, most of the time a question will be revealed. However, if there is a ZONK behind that button, then the team will lose their turn. Even worse, if there is a DOUBLE ZONK, the team will lose points! Suspense fills the room as students wait to see which will be revealed. This is a unique and fun way to review with the entire class!

Directions for the Distributive Property ZONK Game:

1. From the home screen, students will choose a number.
2. Click on the number and the corresponding question (or ZONK!) slide appears.
3. Students will discuss and share their simplified equivalent expression choice with you.
4. Click one more time on the screen to reveal the correct answer.
5. Keep score on the board or have students keep score. (Award points for correct answers; deduct points for DOUBLE ZONK.)
6. From the question or zonk slides, click the "Return" button and the next team will take a turn.
7. Have fun!!
