Like Terms Uno
2) I made five copies of the cards, each on a separate color of card stock. I sorted the cards so
that each deck had all terms and extra cards (wild, skip, reverse) but were varied in color. This
gave me 5 decks of cards total. My groups then had 5-6 students per group and that was a
decent number.
3) Rules for playing: (You can do what you want, but here's how I ran it.)

Each student receives 5 cards and the deck is placed face-down in the middle of the
group. The first card is then turned over and faces up. (The normal 7 to start seemed
like too many to get a winner within a decent amount of time.)
Students can play either a like term card or a like colored card on their turn. If they
can't play, they draw ONE card. (IF they draw until they can play, it may be a long time.
:))
Skips and reverse cards only work for their given color and wilds work whenever.
When playing a wild card, a student must call out a like term, NOT a color to continue.
When a player has 1 card left, they must call Uno. (Like the real game.)
The player who gets rid of all their cards first wins.
4) Once a team completed a game, I asked them to call me over. I then chose 5 cards from the
pile and asked them to write the terms as an addition sentence. I provided a half-sheet of
paper for this work. I then asked them to simply their expression. Once they did this, they
could then play again. Once someone won, they needed to do another addition
problem. (You'll see on the sheet that I had them pick 6 cards and then 4 cards another time.)
