House of Cards Common Core Ratio Game

Created by
Muxy
This game focuses on how to gain deep understanding about ratios and rate tables by building a house out of cards. Students will have 10 minutes to build their house of cards. They then will apply a ratio to construct a house of cards to scale. The game will help students gain coherence about how the ratio, rate table, coordinate grid, double number line or tape diagrams, and equations support each other. Included are color coded anchor charts to address misconceptions, gaps, and aid your ELL st
