Quiz-Quiz-Trade Game: Reading Exponential Expressions Level 2 This math game helps 6th-8th grade students read, write, and understand exponential expressions. The activity combines academic vocabulary building and peer interaction. Students use sentence starters to quiz each other on reading exponential expressions aloud. After reading the expression, students check answers on the back of the cards. Then they switch roles. When done, they trade cards and find new partners. This sheltered teaching strategy boosts math talk and peer engagement. Use it for whole-group practice, small-group remediation, or as a homework supplement. The resource includes 36 ready-to-use cards with quiz prompts and answer keys. If you have more than 36 students, print extra cards. Model gameplay before starting to set expectations for kind interactions, helpful feedback, appropriate proximity, and full sentence use.
