  • Students practice solving one step equations in these 4 puzzles. There are 2 puzzles solving with adding/subtracting--one in each simple level and challenging level. And there are 2 puzzles with multiplying/dividing to solve--one in each simple level and challenging level. In the simpler level, the outside edges are blank, so if students are having difficulty, have them arrange the pieces so the blank sides are on the outside.
  • Are you looking for an interactive and self-correcting resource to practice solving proportions with your students? There are 2 different pictures with 16 problems for each picture on solving proportions. Students start with the picture totally covered by the answer boxes. As they answer each question correctly, more and more of the covered picture is revealed.
  • Engage your Algebra students with this fun jumble puzzle. Students decide if a sequence is arithmetic, find the common difference, find five more terms, and write the explicit formula for the nth term. After students answer the questions they unscramble the words, and finally they find what the three words have in common. Instructions and answer key included. #high school #Algebra #absolutealgebra #jumble puzzle #activity #arithmetic #arithmetic sequences

This activity includes 16 problems in google slides where students will find the area using both diameter and radius on a diagram. Once they have their answer, they will copy the picture on the slide to their answer sheet. When they have solved all the problems, a picture will appear. Great practice for distance learning and classroom as well. Or assign for homework.
