Students will practice simplifying expressions with exponents through this “Rolling Review” Dice Game activity. Knowledge of the product rule, quotient rule, and power rule are required for this activity.
There are two versions included with this resource:
- Version 1: Positive Exponents Only
- Version 2: Positive and Negative Exponents
Students are paired up and assigned half of the board. They roll two dice to see which problems they are solving. For example, if they roll a 1 and a 6, then Partner A does (6,1) and Partner B does (1, 6) on the board. Both students should get the same answer. If not, they trade papers to see if they can help identify any mistakes.
I have my students show their work on a separate sheet of paper, but mark the board with their answers so they know which problems they have already done. They really enjoy this activity because it is different and amazes that that two different problems can have the exact same answer.
