Write And Solve Problems With Equations Math Games

4 games

In this series of games, your students will learn how to solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations. The Write And Solve Problems With 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 6.EE.B.7 as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Write equations using variables to solve real-world mathematical problems. Equations can represent problems and be used to solve problems. Determine whether a variable refers to a specific number or all numbers in a domain. Equations can involve fractions or decimals. Equations should be solved algebraically, using inverse operations to both sides of the equation. All given variables that are represented by the same letter have the same value and so can be added or subtracted. The variable represents all the solutions that satisfy the equation.

Writing and Solving equations with Variables Estimated Duration: 5 minutes Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

Robot Chef Estimated Duration: 18 minutes Congratulations, you are creating the first all-robot restaurant in the city! As you serve more customers, you will be able to build more robots to assist in delivering tasty treats. Attend Night School and answer questions to earn advanced robot chefs!

The Game Developer Equation Estimated Duration: 15 minutes Take the role of rookie game developer in a small indie game studio! Before development can begin, the design proposal in the game design document (GDD) needs missing information filled in. Use algebra to complete the document for the development of a great new game for your studio!

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.
