Fun Puzzles for Algebra - Solving Unit Conversions
The Voyage of the Nautilus and the Sea Turtle
Hanging in the Balance

Product Description:
• This lesson contains two puzzles which can be used as a great review for Algebra One students who have already studied unit conversions. They are designed to supplement material learned and to keep students interested by solving a mystery.
