I love this activity. In fact, kids are mixed up between the concept of reciprocal and opposite. I created game on Kahoot, but not enough! This activity is to strengthen the concepts of those key terms. Kids are able to deepen the understanding the relationship between the terms as absolute value, inverse, opposite, reciprocal, and opposite reciprocal.

This is fantastic! It really gets them to think about the relationships of the numbers. Just wondering, how do you fix student misconceptions? My entire eighth grade algebra class came in with. a misconception that parentheses don't matter when raising a negative number to an exponent! I used an entire class period to try to fix it, and I think I only reached maybe half of them :(…

Do you have one that +-X and divides these rational numbers? We are doing that now in sixth grade. They are subtracting negative fractions and needing some practice. I would rather not use a worksheet though.
