Linear Expressions Trashketball Math Game

Get your students engaged and moving while working with linear expressions. Linear Expressions Trashketball is a competitive and motivating math game that involves students expanding, factoring, simplifying, adding and subtracting linear expressions and shooting baskets. There are 5 rounds in this game with 6 questions in each round. This resource includes a PDF & PowerPoint Slides.

The PowerPoint Slides can be uploaded into Google Drive and assigned through Google Classroom. It won't be a game this way but your students will be able to add a text box and answer the questions.

What's Included:

PDF that includes teacher information, black & white versions (slides, answer keys, rules)

PowerPoint Slides that include rules for students, 4 rounds in color (each on their own slide, NOT EDITABLE), answer keys, and a blank decorative slide to add more rounds if you wish.

Round 1 - expand linear expressions

Round 2 - factor linear expressions

Round 3 - simplify expressions

Round 4 - add and subtract linear expressions

Round 5 - add and subtract linear expressions (a bit harder than round 4)

You will need to be able to project the slides for all to see, a large container or trash can, a small ball or bean bag, and some tape to mark off shooting lines.
