Equation Wipe-Out!

equations · solving and verifying one- and two-step equations

Solve and verify one- and two-step, first-degree equations [8.PR(VE).5].

Equation Wipe-Out! is an equation game for Grades 6–8 that uses dice to complete mathematical statements. On each turn, students roll a value and decide whether to place it in one of the open boxes on their board. Because they can choose where—or whether—to use a roll, the game combines equation solving with strategic placement instead of giving every student the same fixed set of problems.

Use it for small-group review of one- and two-step equations when students need to think flexibly about what makes a statement true. Discussing why a value fits one position better than another can surface useful algebra reasoning. A free Find a Math Game account lets you generate the lesson for Equation Wipe-Out!
