Math Trivial Pursuit - idea
Use the existing game board and pieces. Create a set of cards. Cards could be themed by topic: Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Statistics and Probability. Each card could have questions at two or three different levels selected from Level 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the NZC. The player chooses the level. The rules are the same as normal trivial pursuit.

What is the point? Great revision. Retention is an ongoing issue in mathematics. Great for the learning habits of connect, reflect, strive and reflect. If the cards were also in PDF form students could study the games questions and answers privately at home, so they can look smart in front of their peers.

Algebraic Equations Solving Board Game
A path with a start and end. Each step on the path has an algebraic equation. Players use one dice and the number on the board that they landed on in the previous turn. They can multiply the numbers together then move to the result. They can add the numbers together and move that number forward. They can subtract one of the numbers from the other and move forward or backward. They can use division if the result is a whole number, then move the pawn that many spaces in either direction. To reach the end they must land exactly on the last step of the path.

What is the point? Students get to solve algebraic equations, helping each other, in a social context. It might be more fun than doing exercises and it might help the engagement and retention levels.

Land Grab - Solving Algebraic Equations
Player A and B take turns. The aim is to make the most connections with their own land. At the end players count the score of each of their connected cards. Therefore a card can be worth 0,1,2,3 or 4 points. The highest score wins.

This worked well. Students used the Solving Board with these cards instead of dice. Double the solving. Awesome.

Linear Equations Board Game - Cards.pdfThese cards can be used in a similar way to the Solving Cards.
These cards can be used in a similar way to the Solving Cards.
In the Linear Equation Game players can choose to use the GRADIENT or the Y-Intercept. So these cards could provide the same options. Or, throw a dice and substitute the dice value for x, and use the y value. The options are endless. (Eg, instead of a dice, use the SOLVING cards). The culture of the classroom is to PLAY our way to algebraic success.
