6th Grade Math: Algebra Inequality Matching Game
About This Product
Teaching your students about how to write and evaluate inequalities in algebra can sometimes end up being a bit dry. Try adding this game to your algebra unit to bring a little movement and collaboration to your classroom.
It's a super simple game: just print the cards and cut them out. There are 32 cards in 16 pairs. Deal one card to each student in your class. They should spend half a minute looking at their card and thinking of other ways it could be represented. For example, if they have a number line: what inequality does it show? If they have an inequality, could it be simplified?
Then, all the students get up and move around the room (SILENTLY!). They can use gestures while looking at each others' cards and trying to find their match. Pairs move to the side of the room until everyone is matched up. It's that simple!
Of course, you could also use these cards for a standard memory game where you flip two cards at a time and try to find matches.
I have also included a second set of cards that have pairs of fractions and decimals (for example 1/20 and 0.05).
Grades to Use With:
These cards are designed to target the standard 6EE.B.8 in grade six classrooms, but they could also be an excellent quick review in grades 7 and 8!
What's Included:
9 Page PDF: Title/Instruction Page
4 Pages of Inequality Cards
4 Pages of Fractions and Decimal Cards
