This time-efficient solution ensures you can focus on teaching and nurturing your students’ growth.
Algebra Bingo Game includes 3 sets that are great for differentiation:
- Simplifying Algebraic Expressions,
- Write And Simplify Algebraic Expressions In Word Problems,
- Evaluating Algebraic Expressions In Word Problems.
This thoughtful design ensures that every student gets precisely the practice they require to excel in algebra.
The first set (Simplifying Algebraic Expressions) has 25 thoughtfully crafted questions which makes it perfect to use to play the classic Bingo game with 25 boxes.
However this resource does not only work the traditional way.
There are 6 types of game boards that you can use and various game play that you can play.
For example, you can also use 24 questions 1-page cut & paste or other game boards with lesser boxes with this set too.
The other 2 sets have 8 questions. You can use them as printable worksheets or print game boards with 8 boxes or less for them.
Different ways to play Bingo
Other than the different game boards, there are also different ways you can play Bingo with.
For instance, for the pre-made bingo cards, instead of getting 3 boxes in a line, students need to get either the 4 corners or the middle boxes on each side.
In addition, there is a spinner for partners to use to call out the alphabet to cross out. This means that this great game can be played by 2 students or more.
To play independently, students can use the game board with 3 boxes to play like a lottery.

Algebraic Expressions In Word Problems
If you want your students to practice more algebra word problems without feeling bored, try incorporating them with these algebra board games!
These 6 algebra board games will be perfect to get your students engaged as they master how to write, simplify and evaluate algebraic expressions.
Game Boards
The set includes 3 types of game boards, each offering a unique experience.
- Rockets Board Game (works similar to snakes and ladder but without the snake)
- 30 question spaces
- 20 question spaces
Each math board game has numbered and unnumbered spaces. The numbered spaces let your students know which task card to do while the unnumbered spaces allow your students to do a random task card.
In addition, they come in both black and white and colored versions.
The rocket board game is engaging as it allows students to move forward if they are lucky enough to land on the fire part of the rocket. With the rocket theme, it works well with space themed lessons.
The board game with 30 question spaces is what you need if you want your students to do more questions than playing.
However, if you want more game mechanics, the 20-question spaces board game is also provided.
There are 5 game play instructions provided for your needs. They are similar, just change specific instructions to fit the numbered and non-numbered game boards.
Task Cards
There are 2 sets of task cards of different math skills that you can use with these game boards:
- Write and Simplify Algebraic Expressions
- Evaluate Algebraic Expressions
This resource requires you to cut out the task cards beforehand if you planned to use them randomly.
However, if you want to use them with the numbered game boards, you can choose not to cut them out to make it easier to find the question.
There are pros and cons to cutting it out.
The pros is the students will be focused on 1 question and it will look more manageable.
The cons is you have to cut and laminate (optional) in advance.
Other ways to use the task cards
Just a reminder, you can also use the task cards for other purposes (i.e. scavenger hunt, scoot, math centers).
The game boards are designed such that you can use different task cards with these game boards too.
To make the game more interesting, add some penalties that you know your students will be willing to do. For example, if you use these as part of a back to school activity, you can add penalties like introducing yourself or shaking hands with 4 people.
This resource is my first resource with QR codes. I surveyed my students about the use of them and my students favor them. They think it makes it more interesting.
Do your students love QR codes? Then you wouldn’t want to miss this.
Not equipped to scan QR codes but want your students to self-check?
Solution: you can print the answer keys for students to check the right answer instead.

If this is the first time your student is playing this type of scavenger hunt, do model the whole process so that students will have a better idea how it works.
Sometimes students get too excited to start to listen to the instructions given. So, do check in on them when they start playing to prevent any misunderstandings.
There are 3 algebra activities in this resource, each with 9 questions.
After students solve all the 9 algebra problems, they need to unscramble the letters to form the word.
In this resource, all 3 words are animal related. A definition is given as a hint.
