Expression Shuffle

Expression Shuffle is a Grade 6 algebra game for simplifying expressions with the properties of operations. Students work with 16 puzzle squares, matching adjacent algebraic expressions that simplify to the same form. The puzzle format makes equivalence visible: each match has to work mathematically before the full arrangement fits together, so students repeatedly simplify and compare expressions instead of completing a list of disconnected problems.

Use it for partner work or a small group when you want students explaining why two expressions are equivalent and checking one another’s simplification.
