This post is especially for 18 of you…you know who you are!  The challenge today is to work together in two areas.  The first area to visit is Math Playground.  Visit the gaming area.  There you will see 2 games on the bottom for algebraic reasoning.  Play each of them several times.  Notice that on the first game you can play a 3 x 3 grid, or a 4 x 4 grid for a bigger challenge.  The 2nd game has 3 different levels of play.  I suggest that you try at least 4 challenges on each of the levels.  Level 3 is truly challenging. Before leaving this site, write a paragraph or two in your ICE book about your visit to this site.

After visiting this site, go to the One-Step Equation section at XPMath.  Play against each other and begin with the one step addition equations.  Do at least 2 competitions and record your scores.  Next go back into the algebra section and this time pick one-step subtraction equations.  Do at least 2 competitions and record your scores.  Take a moment  and write a paragraph or two in your ICE book about your visit to this site.

Thanks for taking the challenges today!  As always, leave a comment if you wish.

So proud of you guys!!!  Mathlady :)
