1-4 Player self-checking game. There are fifteen questions, five one-step equations each with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. All four operations are represented. The game checks the answers, keeps score, assigns the student's game piece to the questions answered correctly, prevents more than one student from answering the same question, and awards a medal to whichever student is in the lead. Ideal for breakout rooms. Should inspire students to participate in order to receive credit.

Factoring Trinomials ax^2+bx+c with a > 1. Three of the ten standard form trinomials have a greatest common factor that needs to be factored out first. One of the ten uses i as the variable to help screen out students using on-line solvers. If that is the only answer the student gets wrong, check for a solver. Both a traditional printable (PDF worksheet) and an excel puzzle reveal are included with this resource. The answer key is also included.

Use this four-problem self-checking distributive property puzzle as a warm-up or exit ticket. You kids will love knowing if they are on the right track and the whimsical animation adds a bit of fun.
