**Game Body **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Purpose of Game: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">For students to practice solving equations with variables in them.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Objective of Game: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The objective of this game is to answer questions correctly to get the most points.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">List of Materials: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Cornhole board
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bean bags
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mini whiteboards, Dry Erase Markers, and Erasers
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Star stickers
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Small candies
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Notecards for each students
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Flashcards with different equations labeled easy medium hard


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rules: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">This game can be played with any amount of people. Each player gets a notecard to put their star stickers on.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Have the students line up behind a line 15 feet away from the Cornhole board.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The first student in line throws one bean bag, aiming for the hole in the Cornhole board.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Read a question, having the student use a white board to answer the question.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">If correct, use the following star scheme. If incorrect, no starts are awarded.
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Missed the board – 1 star
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hits the board – 2 stars
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Goes in the hole – 3 starts
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Student will put the star sticker on their notecard. Once they have ten star stickers they will get to choose one piece of candy.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Student returns to the back of the line, the next student starts the process again!


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Modeling Example: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> We are going to play equation toss and practice solving equations. The object of this game is to get as many star stickers as you can.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Everyone line up behind the 15-foot mark.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The 1st person in line will toss a bean bag towards the Cornhole board. You then will be given an equation to solve on your white board. If you solve the equation correctly then you will get the amount of points that your throw was worth. The hole is worth three points, the board is worth two points, and the ground is worth one points.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Points will be given with star stickers. If you get two points then you will get two stickers to put on your index card. Once you get 10 stickers you can choose one piece of candy.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I will show you how to play one round. First I am going to throw a bean bag towards the Cornhole. Look it got on the board!


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Then I will be given an equation: 2x+1=5. I would solve for x in this problem so I would start by subtracting 1 on both sides making the equation 2x=4. Then I would divide both sides by 2. So x would equal 2. If my answer is correct I would then receive 2 stars then go to the back of the line.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Adaptation: **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. For younger students use the easy and medium equations.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. For younger students or students with physical disabilities you may also want to let them stand closer to the Cornhole board, around 10 feet.
