THE EQUATION THINKING GAME
Students have fun as they improve thinking skills, develop number sense, and use algebraic reasoning with Equate, the award-winning mathematical board game. Players form crossword equations by placing tiles on the game board.
Participants are rewarded for strategizing and for creating advanced equations, i.e. division scores more points than addition, and multi-digit numbers score higher than single-digit numbers. Equate is great for both classroom and home use and is adaptable to suit a range of ability levels.
WHILE PLAYING EQUATE, STUDENTS WILL:
• Improve Thinking Skills:
- Practice critical thinking.
- Engage in creative reasoning.
- Practice thinking strategically.
- Utilize spatial reasoning.
• Develop Number Sense:
- Practice mental computation.
- Master addition and multiplication facts.
- Apply fraction concepts.
• Use Algebraic Reasoning:
- Learn the correct order of operations.
- Learn how to position numbers within an equation.
- Utilize the special properties of the numbers 0 and 1.
- Master fraction rules.
- Practice forming and maintaining true equality statements.
- Learn to distinguish between expression and equations.
|
Game includes:
- laminated playing board.
- 190 tiles stores in two ziploc bags.
- 23 page instruction/rule book with a math review.
- 4 fences for holding players' tiles.
Enhance Equate by incorporating additional tile sets. The Equate Original Tiles Set can be used to set up various levels of play. The Equate Advanced Tile Set for grades 7 and up provides the perfect way to take the game to a higher level.

Equate (voted one of the "Top 100 Games of 1999") is a truly educational game (eek!), but it's a lot of fun anyway... With certain tiles removed, Equate becomes a painless, indeed enjoyable, math tutor for children. My wife, a retired elementary school math teacher, recommends it for fourth grade and up, and I recommend it not only for grown-up mathophiles but also for mathophobes and other innumerates. |
