A game I made for solving equations by the quadratic formula.
Split the class into two teams and get them to select their ships on the ppt slide (I got them to pick a 4, 3 and 2 size ships and one team selected them with a red pen and the other green)
I then gave them the sheet with the questions on and they have to solve them to 2 dp. If their answer is on one of their opponents ships then they tell you and you check the question number and answer. If they are right, update the board with a hit. The first team to sink all their opponents ships is the winner!

Nice resource
Tried this last lesson on a Thursday with year 10, last lesson before they went away on trips. Split the room into the pink team and green team, printed out the answer sheet for me, asked them where to place the ships on the board, then set them off working. When someone said they had an answer that hit an enemy ship, they just had to confirm it with me, then I made a big show of: sirens on!! Incoming missile alert!! Pink team, this is from John..... BOOM!!! and I marked the hit on the board. <br /> <br /> There was a tiny bit of moaning initially (about having to do some 'work') but then they really got into it and they didn't want to leave at the end of the lesson until they'd destroyed all of the enemy's ships!<br /> <br /> Great activity - quadratics of various difficulties, so easy to give different students different levels. Students realise that they are getting wrong answers if they get something not on the board. They also realised that they needed to keep quiet about which answers hit their own ships, which helped keep the noise down despite the excitement.<br /> <br /> Loved it and so did the kids - highly recommended!
