In order to play this game, which resembles the card game "war," you will need to create flashcards for students. Put various fractions on the flashcards. The students play this game in pairs, so make enough cards for everybody. Two opposing players shuffle and draw cards with fractions on them. They need to work out which fraction is higher, as the highest fraction takes the hand. The game is finished when there are no more cards in the deck, and the student holding the most cards wins.
There is a very simple way to get your students to practice solving linear equations. Provide them with a list of equations and a Bingo-type slip on which you write solutions to the equations. The slip should be a square, divided into 16 or 25 smaller squares, each of which contains one solution. Tell the students to solve the equations from the list in any order they choose, and once they get the answer, to cross out the solution. The student who first crosses out all the numbers in any row, diagonal or column wins the game.
For this game, you will need to create cards with quadratic equations on them. Each equation should have a parallel or perpendicular pair among the cards. When the game begins, the students need to work out the equation and then walk around the class to find the student who has the card with a parallel or perpendicular equation. The game stops after three minutes. Only students who found their pair get points. The winner is whoever has the most points when you stop playing the game.
Create cards with numbers 1 to 30 on them, a pair of cards with a horizontal line on them, and one card with an "equals" sign. Place the card with the horizontal line on the table and the equals sign card next to it. Shuffle the numeric cards and place two of them so the horizontal line is between them. Place the two cards face down. When you start the timer, students should turn the two number cards over and then list as many different proportions as they can in the given ratio. After one minute, all the ratios that are not unique are eliminated. The winner is the student with the most ratios.
