| "24 ALGEBRA EXPONENTS" Math Card Game Description:
The math game that makes learning algebra and exponents fun!
There are two games to play with 24 ALGEBRA/EXPONENTS.
How to play the EXPONENTS game:
To play EXPONENTS, you can add, subtract, multiply and divide the 4 numbers on each of the 48 EXPONENTS cards, using each number only once.
You must use only one exponential operation in your solution. You can square, cube, take the square root or cube root of a number on a card or a computed number.
How to play the ALGEBRA game:
To play ALGEBRA, your objective is to find a value for "x" and/or "y" (any whole number from 1 to 9) which, when used together with the other numbers on the card, makes 24.
Add, subtract, multiply and divide, using all four numbers (or number equivalent of algebraic notation) just once.
With three levels of difficulty (1 dot, 2 dot, 3 dot), each of these games are flexible for those with beginning and with more advanced skills.
Advanced math students will discover that EXPONENTS and ALGEBRA are great games to practice math skills at home, at school, or as they homeschool.

A NOTE FROM LAURI:
Explaining the example cards above. There are two example cards above. The objective is to add, subtract, multiply, or divide all four numbers on a card, including the exponent or unknown variable, and get the answer 24.
With the first 1-dot algebra card, with the numbers (9, 3, 3, "y + 2" unknown variable), one solution follows, can you come up with another? (There is another solution under the "Learn More" tab.)
| where y = 6, then y + 2 = 8 |
| Add: 3 + 3 = 6 |
| Subtract: 9 - 6 = 3 |
| Multiply: 3 * 8 = 24 |
| Summary Equation: (9 - (3 + 3)) * (6 + 2) = 24 |
With the second example, a 1-dot exponents card, one solutions follows:
| Subtract: 11 - 6 = 5 |
| Square: 5² = 25 |
| Divide: 6 ÷ 6 = 1 |
| Subtract: 25 - 1 = 24 |
| Summary Equation: (11 - 6)² - (6 ÷ 6) = 24 |
24 games emphasize critical thinking skills. As kids use cards that stretch their skills, they need to use their critical thinking skills to figure out the equations that work! These games are great! |
