Late Delivery Game
This game involves knowledge of expressions. It requires
substitution of whole, positive numbers in expressions
and the application of mental arithmetic skills.
Level 1
Level 1 involves the use of a single operation and mental
arithmetic with whole numbers (National Curriculum
Number and Algebra Level 4).
Level 2
Level 2 involves expressions with brackets and requires
the use of more than one operation (National Curriculum
Number and Algebra Level 5).
Level 3
Level 3 involves expressions with brackets and the use
of square operation on whole numbers (National Curriculum
Number and Algebra Level 5 to 6).
Dice Substitution Print Offs
Dice Substitution involves students working out expressions.
Students throw a dice to work out the value of an expression.
Each print-off can be worked on individually or with
a partner as a game.
Level 1
Level 1 involves simple expressions using subtraction,
addition and multiplication (National Curriculum
Number and Algebra Level 5).
Level 2
Level 2 involves expressions with brackets and powers
of 2 (National Curriculum Number and Algebra Level
6 to 7).
Level 3
Level 3 involves expressions with brackets and power
of 2 (National Curriculum Number and Algebra Level
7).
Planet Hop
This game involves finding points by using co-ordinates
in four quadrants and writing linear expressions to
fit graphs. At level 2 and 3 students are also required
to use co-ordinates to calculate gradient and intercept.
Level 1
Level 1 involves whole numbers co-ordinates and linear
expressions of the form y = s or x = t (National
Curriculum Number and Algebra Level 5).
Level 2
Level 2 involves whole numbers co-ordinates and linear
expressions of the form y = mx + c. The student is expected
to work out the intercept (National Curriculum Number
and Algebra Level 6 to 7).
Level 3
Level 2 involves numbers with no more than one decimal
place and linear expressions of the form y = m x + c.
The student is expected to calculate the gradient and
the constant term (National Curriculum Number and
Algebra Level 7 to 8).
Matching Game Print Offs
In the Matching Game students have to match a graph,
a table and a linear expression out of a set of twenty-seven
cards.
Level 1
Level 1 involves graphs, tables and expressions of the
form y = s , x = t and y = x and y = - x (National
Curriculum Number and Algebra Level 5).
Level 2
Level 2 involves graphs, tables and expressions of the
form y = m x + c (National Curriculum Number and
Algebra Level 6 to 7).
Level 3
Level 3 involves graphs, tables and expressions of the
form y = m x + c and requires students to estimate the
gradient and test the co-ordinates in the table of values.
(National Curriculum Number and Algebra Level 8).
Equation Match Game
In this game students are presented with a playing board
with equations on each tile. Students have to select
a pair of tiles with matching x values.
Level 1
Level 1 involves equations with one operation (National
Curriculum Number and Algebra Level 5).
Level 2
Level 2 involves equations with less than three operations
and brackets. The x- terms are all collected on the
same side of the equality sign (National Curriculum
Number and Algebra Level 6).
Level 3
Level 3 involves equations with decimals, dispersed
x-terms and brackets (National Curriculum Number
and Algebra Level 7 to 8).
Matching Hexagons Print Offs
These print offs provide seven hexagonal tiles. On each
tile are three items which are made up of numbers and
equations. Some of the equations are incompatible with
the numbers supplied so therefore need to be placed
on the outer edges of the tessellation. The object of
the game is to complete the tessellation of hexagons.
Level 1
Level 1 involves equations with one operation (National
Curriculum Number and Algebra Level 5).
Level 2
Level 2 involves equations with less than three operations,
brackets and x terms which do not occur on the same
side of the equality sign (National Curriculum Number
and Algebra Level 7).
Level 3
Level 3 involves quadratic equations of the form x2
=16 as well as x2 +16 = 0 (National Curriculum Number
and Algebra Level 7 to 8).
