Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Algebraic Expressions and Variable Relationships. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Use variables to represent two quantities that change in relationship to one another.

Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using tables, and relate it to the equation.

All given variables that are represented by the same letter have the same value and so can be added or subtracted.

The variable represents all the solutions that satisfy the equation or inequality.

Dependent variable will vary depending on the value of the independent variable.

Analyze the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables using graphs and relate it to the equation.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is a variable in math? What are some ways that we can organize data? If there are 7 days in a week, how many days are there in 3 weeks? If a girl has 15 erasers and 5 friends, how many can each friend get?

After the Game

If the elephant (1e) needs 2 bales of hay (2h) for one day, what would the equation be to find out how much hay he would need for 6 days? What is a real-life situation where you could write an equation that includes a variable to get needed information? Why do we organize data into tables and graphs? How were you able to figure out how much an animal would need to eat? Explain how you used the graph to solve the problems, and how did it make it easier?
