Real World Problems With System Of Equations Math Games

6 games

In this series of games, your students will learn to solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. The Real World Problems With System Of Equations learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 8.EE.C.8.c as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

A system of equations refers to a set of two or more equations with an equal number of variables. The solution for a system of equations is an intersection of the graph of the two equations. The solution for a system of equations is an ordered pair and it is the solution to both equations. Solutions to systems of equations that are independent are lines that intersect at one particular point and have one solution. Solutions to systems of equations that are dependent describe the same line and have all of the same points in common; hence, there is an infinite number of solutions to the system. Graphs of equations that are parallel lines will never intersect and have no solutions.

Analyze and determine if a system of equations has one, none, or infinite solutions. Solve systems of equations algebraically by substitution. Solve real-world problems using a system of equations where two quantities are compared. Write the equations using consistent variables that refer to the same quantity.

Solving Systems of Equations Estimated Duration: 4 minutes In this lesson, students will be able to solve real-world problems using systems of equations. They will learn to represent the cost of multiple items with variables and form equations based on given information. Students will practice solving these equations using the elimination method.

Equality Explorer - Basics Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Explore what it means for a mathematical statement to be balanced or unbalanced by interacting with objects on a balance. Try to balance circles with squares, apples with oranges, or cats with dogs, and relate the values to a real-world meaning. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Equality Explorer: Basics - Lab Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Change the values of three different objects and build balanced and unbalanced situations. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Equality Explorer: Two Variables Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Build equations and inequalities in two variables. Observe the effects of changing the values of the variables. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Equation Chaser Estimated Duration: 13 minutes Solve linear equations to track down criminals, then chase them down through the streets of The City!

Basketball Master Estimated Duration: 12 minutes Shoot a basketball through the hoop and answer some questions along the way! The game does not have any instructional content, it simply has review questions spread throughout.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.
