Answer Me Wrong

integers · completing integer addition equations

To complete addition equations with integers [7.NS.A.3].

Answer Me Wrong is a Grade 7 integer game built around completing addition equations with positive and negative values. Card colors represent signs, and one player creates a target from two cards while another searches their hand for the value or combination needed to complete the equation. The missing-part format makes students think backward about integer addition rather than only calculating a given sum.

Use it in a small group when students need practice with integer equations and inverse reasoning. Ask players to explain what value is missing before they search for a matching card so the equation drives the decision.
