This activity will serve well as an individual or group activity. Get your students thinking as they first sort these 25 binomials into various categories with a few 'not possibles' along the way. Then have students practice their skills by rewriting each binomial in its factored form. These binomials are an assortment of the following: difference of

This is a completely original game that I developed to focus on one particular skill: using slope to plot points and visualize lines. In my experience some students never master using rise over run - they mix it up somehow. And there are other students who confuse using slope to plot points with how we plot cooridinates. Therefore, this game combines the two skills in an attempt to identify the students with such confusions while masking it as a fun game. This game is a little like Risk, whe
