Product Intent: This resource is designed for a 7th grade math unit focused on rational numbers. It provides practice with adding various types of rational numbers, including fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, integers, and both positive and negative values. Additionally, some of problems are in the context of a real-world situation aka a word problem. The activity is structured as a scavenger hunt, making it self-checking—students must locate their answer to continue to the next problem. If they can't find the correct follow-up, it signals a mistake that prompts them to revisit and revise their work.

Directions:

• Print all 10 problems on colorful cardstock, if possible.
• Place them scattered in random places around your room. Ensure they are accessible to students.
• Have students in groups of 2-5 (your preference) start at any of the ten problems.
• When they are done solving a problem, have them find their answer in an answer box around the room.
• If they cannot find their answer that means they did not solve it correctly and need to fix their mistake.
• They will begin the problem below the answer they just found.
• Repeat until all 10 problems are solved.
