This game can be used virtually whether your students are in your classroom or somewhere else! The directions given on the slideshow are: USE THIS IN THIS MODE. Do not “present” it, or you will not be able to drag the game pieces. Drag each square to pair up the equivalent expressions. The colors do not indicate pairs. When you are done, scroll to the next slide to check your answers with the answer key.  I recommend you "force a copy" when you give students the link. This way when they finish t

This game is a great way to refresh students memories about combining like terms, practice the concept, or to introduce the concept. Some cards have pictures and some have variables. If you want to use it as an introduction to the concept, you can have students keep the cards face up and match equivalent expressions. Want to differentiate? You can give some groups of students only picture cards to match and other groups of students only variable cards to match. An answer key is included so stud

Engage your middle school math students by using this virtual board game to practice solving one step addition equations with my characters Xari and Yari and using subtraction. The game piece appears with the first correct answer and then moves up with each additional correct answer. See who will win! Students can work on the same computer or share their google sheet to play against each other from different computers. Students can complete the problems in any order they want to. This activit

Engaging practice for solving one step equations with multiplication! Students will figure out how many items are in 1 of the box (©Xari or ©Yari) if they are told how many are in the box when it is divided by a number. This gives immediate feedback. Once they have the number correct (6 of the 12 must be correct), the rest of the problems disappear and students get the message that they are done. The ©Xari and ©Yari characters are the same as in my other activities so students have a consisten
