Description

Riddles are a great way to make a boring worksheet fun. However, I found students knew the answer to the riddle and just chose the answers to fill in the letters without doing any of the math. This way, students have to create the riddle before they can answer it.

I left this activity for my 7th grade class with a sub. It was a really fun opportunity to practice their work with integers in a real world context. I also appreciated that the assignment requires students to build the riddle through their work! They weren't able to cheat and look up the answer before actually doing any work. :) Great activity, will use again!

I enjoyed this activity because the students had to actually solve the problems to create the question. They couldn't eventually figure out the answer to the riddle question. The students enjoyed it as well because it intrigued them and they wanted to figure the question out.

My students enjoyed the riddle and using a scanner to answer it...they had to check with me first to see if their riddle was right and then they could scan the answer. Cute!

Great resource with awesome written problems. I would recommend. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it was a pdf with the answer key attached in one document so I couldn’t just assign it. I had to scan the page and upload it. Otherwise it is PERFECT!

Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, 𝘱 – 𝘲 = 𝘱 + (–𝘲). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.
