MAKE ME SIMPLE

exponents · multiplying monomials

To multiply monomials [8.EE.A.1].

MAKE ME SIMPLE is a Grade 8 algebra game for multiplying monomials. One player spins to select a monomial while a partner draws a number card, and the pair multiplies the two quantities before time runs out. Correct products earn the prize attached to the spinner result, so students repeatedly apply exponent rules and coefficient multiplication in a game format.

Use it for partner practice when students are learning to simplify products of monomials. Recording the card, monomial, and product on a worksheet makes it easy to check whether errors came from coefficients, exponents, or both.
