Quiz-Quiz-Trade Game: Reading Exponential Expressions Level 1 This math game combines vocabulary building and student interaction to reinforce reading exponential expressions. Students quiz each other using provided sentence frames with blanks to fill in. After reading the complete sentence, the partner checks the answer card and provides feedback. Students then trade cards and find new partners, repeating the peer quizzing until the teacher stops the game. This sheltered teaching strategy scaffolds instruction for all students, especially ELLs, to interact with academic language and content simultaneously. Use this ready-to-print game for individual, small group, or whole class practice reading exponential expressions in 6th grade algebra. Card sets can be replenished for continued use. Teacher tips provide guidance for successful implementation.
