What educators are saying

Students enjoy playing connect four during centers. This was a big hit and the students were competitive

— Janet R.

Rated 5 out of 5

I appreciate that it has 1 and 2 step equations. It was an engaging way for the students to practice this skill. A little prep but now I have it done and ready for future use as well.

Description

Connect Four is a game that not only connects us to our childhood but brings a sense of play into math practice. With Connect Four One-Step and Two-Step Equations students are given a one-step or two-step equation and must solve it using given operations.

Connect Four One-Step and Two-Step Equations includes:

Notes for the Teacher (How to Set Up, Materials Needed, Photo in Use, etc.)
Table of Contents
Directions for How to Play (Color and Black and White)
Chips for Players (Color and Black and White)
EIGHT Different Connect Four One-Step and Two-Step Equations in Color and Black and White
Answer Keys for all EIGHT One-Step and Two-Step Equations boards (add & subtract one-step equations, add & subtract two-step equations, multiply & divide one-step equations, multiply & divide two-step equations, all operation one-step equations, all operations two-step equations (x 2), and all-operations multi-step equations
Recording Sheets for Student Work (Color and Black and White)

How Can I Use This?

Through the use of Connect Four games, you can easily set up a station during Math Workshop that swaps out the concept each week and not have to reteach the directions throughout the year allowing you to WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!

Connect Four One-Step and Two-Step Equations is also great for review, early finisher activities, enrichment, a worksheet alternative, partner activity, or as a take-home activity to encourage families to work together.

CCSS7.NS.A.3

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.

CCSS6.EE.B.5

Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.

CCSS6.EE.B.7

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.

CCSSMP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.

CCSSMP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and-if there is a flaw in an argument-explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.
