Introduction:
Solving linear equations is a cornerstone of Algebra and other higher level math classes.
The skills involved are critically important to the students’ confidence and success within
high school mathematics. In this project, students develop a board game that help their
peers review solving linear equations. This project requires internet access as the students
will use various websites to collect sample problems of varying degrees of difficulty. The
entire project should use about 230 minutes of instruction time. Adjust as needed.
Overview:
Students work in groups of 2 or 3 to create a board game that reviews solving linear
equations. The students use the internet to research math problems as well as develop a
key of correct answers for each question in the game. After games have been constructed,
the students play each other’s games.
Goals:
Students will work together to research, plan, and construct a board game.
Rationale:
o work in groups
o review skills needed for all higher level math classes Algebra and above
o review for chapter/unit test
o review for exam
o review for end of course test
Objectives:
1. The student will solve one step linear equations using addition and subtraction.
2. TSW solve one step linear equations using multiplication and division.
3. TSW use two or more steps to solve linear equations.
4. TSW solve linear equations that have variables on both sides of the equation.
5. TSW solve linear equations involving decimals and fractions.
