Manipulating Math Minds

This file contains an editable Powerpoint game that is modeled after the TV show Cash Cab, complete with exciting sounds, a working scoreboard, and a solution key to all 30 questions. My Algebra students have gotten VERY spoiled with review games. However, they get vey excited and competitive when they play one. So, I will keep making them...Win-Win for all! Topics covered in this game are: Properties, linear equations, functions, inequalities, systems of equations, systems of inequalities,

Solving equations is a skill that has to be mastered for students to perform basic algebraic operations in later years. While it seems so logical to me, my students often struggled with what steps are to be taken first (+, -, x, ÷), even though it is just order of operations…in reverse. A few years ago, I started using “Equation Estates” to teach this, and the confusion no longer exists. We even had a little fun along the way! I teach JH, and they can TOTALLY relate to this set up! The ba

It’s up to you to make sure your team is the first to reach the end of the maze! In this game, students will be divided into two teams, and will compete against their classmates as they work through 36 monomial problems. This file contains an editable interactive PowerPoint pet themed game, teacher instructions and the solution to the problems. This a fun and interactive review game with cute meowing and barking sounds that will sound when teams correctly answer problems. My 8th graders LOVE

It’s the bottom of the ninth. Your team has two outs, you have a full count, and it’s up to YOU to score! In this game, students will be divided into two teams, and will compete against their classmates as they work through 32 polynomial problems.. This file contains an editable interactive PowerPoint baseball themed game, teacher instructions and the solution to the problems. It even plays "Take me out to the Ballgame" in the intro! I personally have a Promethean Board in my room, but prefer
