Algebra Games for Grades 3‑8
Algebra is the skill of reasoning about unknown numbers, and it starts with ideas students already own. These games ask players to follow the order of operations, write expressions from words, solve equations by keeping both sides balanced, bounce through inequalities, read slope and intercepts on a line, and solve systems where two lines meet. Every problem is generated in code and checked, so the practice is endless but never repeats. A good fit for grades six to eight and for anyone getting ready for them.
