Systems of Linear Equations (Substitution Method)-Get More Open Boxes & Win Game

This is a fun and engaging matching game for 2 players on solving systems of linear equations by the substitution method called “Collect More Open Boxes and Win!”. Students are given a total of 20 problems. Player A starts first choosing at random two systems to solve, then player B chooses another two problems to solve. Players continue in this way until all problems are finished. They search for their answers written on closed or open boxes on the boxes board. Whoever has collected more open boxes wins the game. There is one bonus box that anyone who has solved all problems correctly gains. This box can be gained by the two players at the same time. If a player has solved a problem incorrectly he/she does not get any box. Recording sheets for the players are provided.
