Variations for Unequal Sign Games

Equal Speed
  • Instead of using the equal and unequal sign cards, students could use a label sticker with an = sign placed on their hands. 
  • Students could also wear a glove with the = sign on it, this would eliminate the = sign cards.
Domino Draw
  • Instead of playing this game with dominos, students could roll dice and complete addition or subtraction problems.
  • To help students get = more often, let them know they can combine addition and subtraction.  If you add one partners domino and subtract the other partners, they may be equal - definitely a higher level game.
