Description

This group activities could be done in the physical classroom or in breakout sessions on Zoom or Google classroom.

Each student will be responsible for a set of 6 problems applying the concepts you have taught in class. Together, the group will solve the logic puzzle based on clues that result from their individual solutions.

Highlighted Formulas/Skill:

  • PEMDAS
  • Order of Operations including all basic operations, exponents, and multi-level brackets/parenthesis.

With this activity, your students will...

  • Build their skills as they practice solving using the order or operations.
  • Deepen their understanding as they build their critical thinking and logic skills.
  • All be involved. Since each student has his/her own paper they are responsible for, it keeps any one member from just sitting back and letting the rest of the group take over.
  • Learn how to think critically. Logic puzzles build critical thinking and problem-solving skills (the same skills you need to excel at math!) 
  • Learn to solve complex problems by simply doing the one step you know, then the next step, then the next, until you arrive at the answer.

Great for a group activity or for use in a math center.

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s³ and A = 6 s² to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
