Description
This 25-question St Patrick's Day puzzle provides students with practice solving multi-step equations. Questions #1-10 include equations with variables on one side of the equation and questions #11-25 have variables on both sides of the equation. Questions are further scaffolded to include grouping symbols and finally rational (fractional) coefficients. The pieces fit together to form the shamrock shape shown.
This is a fun alternative to a worksheet and a festive way of displaying student work around St. Patrick's Day! I recommend using this as a collaborative class work assignment due to the number of questions and time it takes to cut and paste the pieces. I assemble this type of puzzle by taping the pieces together, but bulletin board paper or 1/2 sheet of poster paper also work great to paste the pieces down to.
This puzzle activity is also included in the following bundles:
ā 8th Grade Math Puzzle Bundle
ā 8th Grade Math Foldable + Activity Bundle
ā 8th Grade Math Full Curriculum
ā Algebra 1 Activities Bundle
