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.

* Perfect for centers, homework or independent/group practice

* Engaging activity for students to practice

* Answer Key included

Students enjoyed working backwards to find the question instead of getting the question. I felt that they were really working because they wanted to figure out the question where if they are given the question, they easily solve the riddle by guessing. It also was a great way to practice finding slope from a table.
