1. THE “GRUDGE” GAME Vocabulary Application Problems Solving Equations

2. Write your group name on the board and put 10 x’s underneath it. (You also may need your notes) Example: Team Math X X X X X X X X X X

3. Rules I will show an expression to be simplified, an equation to be solved, or an inequality to be solved. Show your work and answer in your notebook and wait to show your answer until I say it is time. If you have the correct solution (with work) in your notebook, then you get to go to the board and erase an X off of someone’s name. If you run out of X’s, you can no longer win but you become a zombie and can get other people back by erasing your X’s. The winner is the group with the last X remaining.
