Game Over Gopher

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Coordinate an attack on hungry gophers. Scholars play a game that relies on placing objects on the coordinate plane to stop gophers from eating a carrot. As the game levels increase, learners encounter different scales and the need to reflect a point across an axis. The class also plays a team game where the object is to place four dots in a row on the coordinate plane while trying to keep the opposing team from doing the same thing.
