Simplifying Expressions Solving Equations Inequalities Fun Review Game Activity

Ignite engagement with this 7th Grade Math simplifying expressions and solving equations and inequalities review activity. Perfect for math test prep and building classroom community, this is a cooperative learning, review game group activity, and very aligned to the Common Core Standards. Students engage in problem solving, team building and strategize to earn the most points in order to win. Also in my BUNDLE, click HERE.

No prep - just print and go!

• In this Regressive Point review game, students are in groups. They need to show work in a notebook while answering the questions. The problems can be answered in any order they'd like, which is part of the strategy.

• The first group who correctly answers each problem will earn the highest possible points for that problem. For example, if Group C answers #3 first, they will earn the highest number of points for that problem. If Group F is the 2nd group to answer #3, they will earn the 2nd highest possible points, and so on.

• In the end, the group with the highest number of total points will win 1st place. The group with the 2nd highest number of points will earn 2nd place, and so on. You can give the top-performing groups prizes, extra credit, or other rewards.

• Each 7th grade standard on Expressions and Equations is addressed, Inequalities. Feel free to modify the game by adding questions, removing questions, etc. I recommend not allowing calculators.

• Directions for the teacher and students are provided on a Microsoft Word Document and also PDF. Use the data to inform instruction. For example, after the game, use the data to form small groups to support struggling learners and/or differentiate instruction.

Key Words: 7th Grade Math Solving Equations and Inequalities group game review activity, 7th Grade Math Simplifying Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Inequalities Test Prep Activity

Standards:

7.EE.A.1

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

7.EE.A.2

Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. 

7.EE.B.3

Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. 

7.EE.B.4

Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

7.EE.B.4a

Solve word problems leading to equations of the form + = and ( + ) = , where , , and are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. 

7.EE.B.4b

Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form + > or + < , where , , and are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem.
