Does anyone know any good algebra games?

Question

For example, a 24 game with four numbers that you have to add, subtract, multiply and divide? I need one with fractions, that isn't TOO easy, but not TOO hard. Example : 8+8/2*3 (uses the numbers 8,8,2,3) I need something like this, but it has to have fractions.

Answer 1

I was taught a game called KRYPTO when I was in sixth grade. The game is pretty simple. Someone would call out six numbers from 0-30 in no particular order.
Using the first five numbers, players can either add, subtract, multiply, or divide using two or all five numbers to get the sixth number. But each number can only be used once in any order.

If written on the board it would look like:

1, 4, 18, 20, 25 = 5

You would multiply, divide, add, or subtract any of the numbers in no particular order to try and get five.
If you think of a possible solution, you would yell out, "KRYPTO ____" (replacing the blank with the amount of numbers used to reach the sixth number.)
Ex: KRYPTO THREE: 1+4=5
or KRYPTO FIVE: 20-18=2 2+4=6 6-1=5 25/5=5

The point of the game is to get the highest Krypto in a specified amount of time or to get KRYPTO FIVE.
This game is easily modified and it can be adjusted in difficulty by either letting players use pencil and paper or making it a mental game.

Lastly, no calculators!

Any questions about the game, send me a message! I'd be happy to answer them

Answer 2

As above there is a fraction edition of the 24 game or other games you can play with fractions are...

* 3 in a row where teams have to simplify the fraction on a certain square to move there

* pairs where you have to match up two equivalent fractions

* simple quiz-style games (i.e. first to ten points) where teams have to correctly answer fraction questions

The 24 game is the only official game I know of, but the others - and many more - can be easily made up with just a bit of thought! Hope this helps!
