Avoid lengthy problem sets and worksheets! The Algebra Game provides rich, meaningful practice with algebra concepts.

More than just a simple card or board game, this set of five games provides practice with the core elements of algebra: Linear Graphs, Quadratic Equations (both Basic and Advanced), Conic Sections, and Trig Functions.

In Quadratic Equations, students make sense of quadratic equations and functions as they explore the different representations. Supplement with the Advanced set to match up cards featuring vertex, axis of symmetry, discriminant, and the quadratic formula.

Every function is represented multiple ways, reinforcing the connections between these representations for students.

The Algebra Game: Quadratic Equations includes everything you need for up to 12 students working collaboratively to explore relationships in algebraic functions. Each set includes:

Each game comes with four decks of cards that increase in difficulty from A through D. The Quadratic Equations cards start with equations with integer roots only and proceed to complex roots and mixed integer coefficients. These different decks allow for quick and easy differentiation of the activities.

The activities that are included with each game require students to match, identify, or represent functions in different ways. The activities are engaging enough to be repeated over and over, and using the different card decks provides an increased challenge as students develop a richer understanding of the concepts.

The Quadratic Equations activities span topics from basic graphs of quadratic equations to solving equations by factoring.

Every activity, in each game, ends with a set of discussion questions. Brain research tells us that students need to discuss the mathematics they are learning as they are learning it, and these discussion questions take these already strong activities to this level. These open-ended questions help students build a better understanding of the concepts they are practicing.
