Algebra Camel Race
Resource Type: Game
This is a board game which focuses on the use of formulae and, in particular, substitution. It also provides practice at mental arithmetic and can be extended to include negative numbers.
This game board was re-created as a high quality version, as the version found online was difficult to read.
Also known as Algebra Horse Race.
