Triangle Dice Game: Isosceles, Scalene, Equilateral, Right, Acute, Obtuse
Math, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games
Here's a deceptively simple dice game to practice identifying and creating six kinds of triangles. Three are classified by their angles: acute, right, and obtuse. Three are classified by their side lengths: scalene, equilateral, and isosceles. Use this game to reinforce the definitions of each of these six triangles in a geometry/measurement unit. Students work independently or in small groups. Each player needs two dice. They roll them and use the two numbers as side lengths in centimetres for a triangle. They draw the triangle in one of the boxes on their paper and measure and label the third side length. Here's where the strategy and critical thinking come in. Can students make six kinds of triangles in less than six turns? Maybe! If they get some lucky rolls! For example, if a student gets a roll with two of the same numbers, they should make an isosceles or equilateral triangle (depending on what angles they draw). But this triangle will also be an acute triangle (or an isosceles right triangle). Clever students (with lucky rolls) should be able to complete the task in less than six turns. Standards: CCSS 4.G.A.2 Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles. CCSS 7.G.A.2 Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle. Grades: This game works well in classes from grades 4-7. Ideally students know how to use a ruler and a protractor.

Integer Card Games
Math, Numbers, Grade 7, Activities, Games
Particularly, with the topic of integers, students REALLY need to be fast and fluent with their facts. Quizzing & drilling constantly is one way to achieve that… however, these games will help break up the monotony and build the solid foundation they will need to be able to keep a good pace with problem solving later on. 1) There are several games to choose from, each a different difficulty & pace. 2) Prepare to take time to explain the rules in detail to make sure students understand how to play. 3) Once students know the rules well, these will be very quick and easy activities any time they need review (constantly), or you need a time filler. Just save/laminate your decks of cards and pull them out when needed! Most games are geared towards fluency in find the sum of two integers, but some can be played by also finding the product of two integers.

Magnetism Dominoes Game for Middle School
Science, Physics, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities, Games
No numbers on these dominoes, just questions and answers. The game is suitable for all abilities as it can be played by matching two of the same question or a question with its answer. An animated PowerPoint explains how the game is played. This game is so much fun, pupils will forget they are learning! Prior Knowledge Composition of Magnets: Magnets are constructed using magnetic materials. Common materials include Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, and their corresponding alloys. Pole Interactions: Magnets have two types of poles - North and South. When two like poles (e.g., North and North) come close to each other, they repel. Conversely, when opposite poles (e.g., North and South) are brought together, they attract each other. Magnetic Fields: Surrounding every magnet is an invisible force field known as the magnetic field. This field can be visualized through field lines. Field Line Density: The density of these field lines determines the strength of the magnetic field. A region with closely spaced field lines indicates a stronger magnetic field than a region where they're spread out. Visualization of Field Lines: It's essential to understand and recognize the pattern of field lines around two bar magnets, especially when they have the same or opposite poles facing each other. Field Strength at Poles: The magnetic field is strongest at the poles of a magnet due to a higher concentration of field lines. Distance and Field Strength: The strength of the magnetic field diminishes as one moves farther from the magnet. Direction of Field Lines: Field lines emanate outward from the magnet's south pole and point inward toward the north pole. Magnetization Process: When a non-magnetized magnetic material becomes a magnet, the tiny regions within it called domains, which were initially oriented in random directions, align themselves to point uniformly in the same direction. Earth's Magnetic Properties: The Earth behaves like a large magnet. Interestingly, there appears to be a south-type magnetic pole near the Earth's geographic North Pole and a north-type magnetic pole near the Earth's geographic South Pole. Application in Devices: It would be beneficial to have a basic understanding of how magnets and magnetic fields operate within certain devices. Familiarize yourself with the structure and functioning of electric bells, relays, and circuit breakers, as they use these principles. What You Get 90 dominos Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play. How to Play Each player chooses seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. The player who has the longest full name starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. Players match a question exactly or a question with its answer with the answer. A player can challenge a match if they think it is wrong. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached. If the challenge is correct, the challenger gives one of their cards to the other player. If the challenge is wrong, the challenged player gives one of their cards to the challenger. If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand. See more Elf Off the Shelf resources on this topic and many others.

8th Grade Math Bingo Review #1
, Grade 8, Activities, Games
This PowerPoint Presentation contains 2 bingo games of 8 questions each. The topics covered are: find the missing side of a right triangle, find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane, solve for angle pairs formed by 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal, compare numerals in different forms (radical, decimal, mixed) rate-time-distance problems, find unit cost, find the approximate position on the number line for a radical •Directions for BINGO. •Have students to make a 4 x 4 game board. They will fill in the answers in random order. This way everyone has a different board but all of the answers. Put up the first 2 questions. When all students finish #1, you can change to the second page, which still has #2 but also #3 for those that have also finished #2. This allows some students to work ahead when ready. When everyone has finished #2, move to the next screen, which has #3 and #4 as some students will be ready for #4. Continue in this way. Students should put a mark in the corner of the square---Don’t have them completely mark out their answers in the first game because they will use this same board in the second game. •Students MUST show their work on paper to get credit for a BINGO. For the problems that don’t have work to show, they must explain their answer on paper. •The first game uses questions #1-8. In a regular size class there should be 5-6 bingos after this many questions. You can start the second game #9-10 or save that for another class time. Just make sure students save their board because both games use the same board. •I like to give a piece of candy (like jolly rancher) for BINGOs. I always help students with their problems since I used BINGO as practice not as an assessment.

Smart Cookie Game-Part 2 (2022 Version)
Special Resources, Social Skills, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities, Games
In this Smart Cookie game (2022 version), students try and race each other to be the first one to guess the answer based on one at a time clues after one at a time clicks via Presentation mode on Google Slides. This is based on the wildly popular game Smart A** but more applicable and relevant to elementary-high schoolers. I have included many references to popular t.v. shows and famous people the students born after 2001 would know. This is a trivial pursuit-like game but more fun and students feel more successful. It is just for fun and perfect for Zoom, an ice breaker or indoor recess but they might even learn something! There are 3 categories; Who Am I?, Where Am I?, and What Am I? There are 42 slides for each category. Use in Presentation mode for your class. There are answer sheets at the end for each card so the Game Leader can reference quickly and keep track of the cards used. This is in PowerPoint so the completed cards will turn black after being used for easy game play. In this new 2022 version there are all new cards for each category!
