Some of the concepts included in the date expressions are:

Square roots
Cube roots
Exponents and exponents rules
Order of operations
Fraction multiplication and division

Great resource!!! During our final week of distance learning I uploaded one of these for students to try and if they got them all I would send them a prize from our sticker box, I was expecting a few to try but I actually had a ton of students try and they loved it!!! Some even asked for other puzzles to try!

This was a great change of pace activity. At first the kids were overwhelmed (I didn't allow any calculators!). But they all did it and felt accomplished at the end.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS6.EE.A.1

Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.

CCSS6.EE.A.3

Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + 𝘹) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3𝘹; apply the distributive property to the expression 24𝘹 + 18𝘺 to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4𝘹 + 3𝘺); apply properties of operations to 𝘺 + 𝘺 + 𝘺 to produce the equivalent expression 3𝘺.

CCSS6.EE.A.4

Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions 𝘺 + 𝘺 + 𝘺 and 3𝘺 are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number 𝘺 stands for.
