Slope Intercept Race
Slope Intercept Race
Materials:
• Powerpoint Gameboard
• Poster of Gameboard or Draw on Whiteboard
to keep score
• Number Cube (1 – 6)
• Letter Cube (A – F)
Directions
1. Divide the students into teams (2 to 4 teams will work … or have
students play against the teacher.)
2. Choose a team to go first. That team rolls both dice, which
designates a square on the problem grid.
3. Randomly choose 1 student from that team to answer the
question.
4. If the answer is correct, the team “owns” that square, and it is
marked off the grid. If not, the other team (or next team if you have
more than 2) has an opportunity to guess correctly and gain
ownership.
5. Play rotates until all squares are taken or time expires.
6. If a team rolls a square that is already “owned,” they lose their turn
and play goes to the next team.
7. The team with the most squares wins.
