I played a relay
game with my 8th graders to make solving simultaneous equations fun and
interactive. The class was divided into 5 groups. I shuffled each group in such
a way that they were seated starting with the slow learners to the fast
learners. The last one in each group was called the 'Captain in-charge' of the
group. A set of 10 questions was displayed and the group started with the first
student solving the first question and passing to the second and so on. The
three fastest teams to complete the questions got a bonus of 2 points. The
captain got to move around and help his team. Everyone participated with great enthusiasm
and by the end felt very comfortable with the concept.
