For Day 72, we took a break from the worksheets and played a round of board hockey to practice balancing word equations. I put an equation sentence on the board and a 2 minute timer. Each group had to translate the sentence into a balanced equation before time ran out. Every group put their board up at the same time to be checked. Groups with the correct answer got to send a representative to slide a disk weight across the whiteboard tray to collect their points.
This was a well-needed break from the worksheets and a good review for the quiz tomorrow!
