Write Inequalities Math Games

4 games

In this series of games, your students will learn how to write an inequality to represent a constraint or condition. The Write Inequalities 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.8 as written in the common core national math standards.

Scroll down for a preview of this learning objective’s games and the concepts.

Concepts Covered

Express constraints from real world context as an inequality. Determine whether a variable refers to a specific number or all numbers in a domain. All given variables that are represented by the same letter have the same value and can be added or subtracted. The variable represents all the solutions that satisfy the inequality. Fractions and decimals can be used in the problems. Represent solutions on a number line.

The inequalities x>c or x<c, have all of the solutions greater or less than c and so have infinitely many solutions.

Starving Monster Estimated Duration: 16 minutes Serve and satisfy your starving monster customers on your first day working at this monster restaurant. Be sure to give them the right amount of foods to keep them happy!

Newton Pool Estimated Duration: 15 minutes The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.

Writing Inequalities Estimated Duration: 4 minutes Learn how to express real-world constraints as inequalities, understand the infinite solutions of inequalities like 𝑥>𝑐 or 𝑥<𝑐 and represent these solutions on a number line.

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.
