7th Grade Fraction Games

Today we're going to practice some basic fraction concepts.  Play each game AT LEAST twice unless you win the game the first time.  Make sure you read the directions for each game so you understand how to play.  If I see you "just clicking", I'm going to come sit with you.  Please ask if you have questions about a game.

8th Grade Math Lab, Week of 9/27/10

Evaluating Expressions
Stay on each screen until you get ALL FIVE correct. Then refresh your screen for a new set of problems. Aim to get through five screens of five problems each (that's 25 problems!).  Show all steps, including writing the problem, on your record sheet.


Translate Verbal Expressions (Matching)
You do not need to record your work for this one, but check in with me when you finish so I can look at your screen.

If you finish both games, you may play another game on my website or work on math homework.

7th Grade Math Lab 8/30 and 8/31

Play these order of operations games. Use your notebook for any work. NO CALCULATORS!

To warm up, play this Order of Operations game.  Click on the operations in the order you will do them.  You do not actually have to work out the problems.  After you get 10 correct, you will get to play an arcade game.  For that game, click the operations in the order you would do them.  Show me your score if you think it is high enough to get on the high score board.

Next, play Select an Operation.  Number in your notebook from 1 to 10 (leave space in between).  Write down the problems AND the answers for ten problems.  You do not need to show your work because you will be doing the work on screen (but you can show it if you want to).

Finally, play Order of Operations Rags to Riches.  If you win 1,000,000, let me see your screen, and you can add your name to the Millionaire's Club!

If you have extra time, you may play any game under Order of Operations or Exponents on the Number and Computation Games page.
