Ratios, Proportions and Percent Problems Game - Christmas Math Activity
- Zip
Description
Ignite engagement with this Winter, Christmas Holiday 7th Grade Proportional Relationships and Percent Problems - Percentages review activity involving: percent word problems involving markup, discount, tax, tip, part, whole, percents and constant of proportionality, ratio tables, representing proportional relationships on a graph, table, and equation or expression, and unit rate graphically.
Perfect for math test prep and building classroom community, this is a cooperative learning, review game group activity, and very aligned to the Common Core Standards. Students engage in problem solving, team building and strategize to earn the most points in order to win. You can also use the resource simply as a handout if you don't want to play the group game. Here is how the game works - below:
No prep - just print and go! Editable too. Add or delete questions that you haven't yet covered.
- In this Regressive Point review game, students are in groups. They need to show work in a notebook while answering the questions. The problems can be answered in any order they'd like, which is part of the strategy.
- The first group who correctly answers each problem will earn the highest possible points for that problem. For example, if Group C answers #3 first, they will earn the highest number of points for that problem. If Group F is the 2nd group to answer #3, they will earn the 2nd highest possible points, and so on.
- In the end, the group with the highest number of total points will win 1st place. The group with the 2nd highest number of points will earn 2nd place, and so on. You can give the top-performing groups prizes, extra credit, or other rewards.
- Most 7th grade standards on Geometry are addressed. Feel free to modify the game by adding questions, removing questions, etc. I recommend not allowing calculators.
- Directions for the teacher and students are provided on a Microsoft Word Document and also PDF. Use the data to inform instruction. For example, after the game, use the data to form small groups to support struggling learners and/or differentiate instruction.

Standards:
7.RP.A Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
- 7.RP.A.1 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.
7.RP.A.2 Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
- 7.RP.A.2a Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.
- 7.RP.A.2b Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.
- 7.RP.A.2c Represent proportional relationships by equations
- 7.RP.A.2d Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0) and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.
7.RP.A.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems..
