Let students practice their adding and subtraction rules with this quick, five minute game. Students work in groups to complete a maze of problems. Checking their work is easy as matching the last question and the first answer.

Quick five minute practice game to drive home the aspect of dividing in unit rates. Students are also forced to look at the units as multiple cards have the same rates but deal with different situations. Once shuffled, the beginning does not matter as the last card will be answered by the first card if all of the middle cards are placed in the correct order.

Buy both of the snake games, Comparing Unit Rates and Table Unit Rates, and get a third for free. Use these review cards any time of the year to reinforce Module 1 from the Engage NY series. Each game lasts about five minutes.

Kick it up a notch with formulas and tables to compare unit rates. Help students define the idea of best, not always the most, in different situations. These cards are designed for groups of three or four and include answers at the top and the next question on the bottom. As students answer the cards, they can check their work by the last card; it has a question but where is the answer? It's on the first card that was played (only if you did answered the cards correctly.) Best of luck as yo
