Looking for a creative way to review solving 2 step equations with your students? Check out this Halloween-themed activity for math class! Perfect for 7th graders and beyond, you will love students' focus and excitement in this fun, no-prep stations or task cards activity. Students will engage in cooperative learning as they solve two step equations with rational coefficients, basic proportions, integers, solution of zero, and word problems.

How does it work?

• Set up the 8 stations around the room.
• Pair students up. Assign one partner to be “A” and one to be “B.”
• Students travel to each station as a pair. Although they are each solving a different problem, they can check to see if they are correct because they will have matching answers.
• Students neatly copy the original problem and show their work in the stations workspace.
• A twist! Once they determine the solution - confirm their result matches their partner's result - they check the key to find the answer and the corresponding letter.
• In the end, unscramble the 8 letters to find the mystery Halloween-themed word!

Included in this resource:

• 8 stations (each with 2 equations that have the same solution)
• 2-page workspace
• 2-page answer key
• 2-page Teacher's Guide with CCSS, objectives, materials, and procedure
