Students can engage with each other in a fun game of dots and boxes while balancing chemical equations. Students will take turns balancing single-replacement, double-replacement, synthesis, decomposition, and combustion reactions.
Here's how to play the balancing equations dots and boxes:
students take turns drawing horizontal and vertical lines between adjacent dots
when a student draws a 4th line and closes the box, they add their initials or color in the box
the student balances the equation in that box
once balanced, the student will add the coefficients together to get the point total for that box
the student who closed the box gets to draw another line
players continue taking turns until all boxes are closed and claimed
the player with the highest total points will win the game!
This resource includes:
dots & boxes game board with 20 problems
blank student worksheet for scratch work
student tally sheets to keep track of points
