Description

This "secret message" activity will amuse your students and teach them about finding the unit rate in real life.

Directions are printed at the top: In each row, determine the best deal by finding the unit rate. Circle the letter next to the best deal in each row. The first one has been completed for you.

At the end, read the message from top to bottom. It reads, "What a great deal!" (The other letters spell "You got ripped off.")

What looks like only 14 problems is actually 28 problems, since kids have to find the unit rate of each of the two items in order to find the best deal.

And all you have to do is copy it! The prep is all done for you.

You can get this activity and 12 more in the Secret Message Math Bundle. Check it out! You save over 50% by buying the bundle.

Want more? You can also get this item as part of the 6-in-1 Unit Rate Bundle.
Your students will love these fun, engaging activities using unit rates!

My students found this activity very engaging and it took them quite awhile to complete. They were excited to get the message correct. It was the perfect amount of struggle time and worked perfectly for my needs.

Great practice. I "hid" the decoding portion for students I felt would decode the answer without doing the work.
