Go Fish and Memory Games for One-Step and Two-Step Equations
Use this game to practice matching equations to solutions. Choose from two different versions of the game. In one-step equations students match problems like 7 + x = 11 with x = 4 or 22 - 15 = x with x = 7. In two step equations students match 3x + 3 = 6 with x = 1 or 30 - 5x = 5 with x = 5. Just print, cut and bag cards and answer keys. When you have a few minutes of free time or students have earned a reward, it's easy to set up games to review solving equations.

After decades of teaching both remedial and advanced math, I discovered the answer: students memorize rules without understanding the structure underneath. "Keep, Change, Flip." Separate rules for every combination of positive and negative numbers. Tricks that work but hide the connections. Research I conducted with Dr. Lee V. Stiff confirmed what I suspected — when college algebra students who believed they "c
