Picture equations get students thinking mathematically and algebraically. (And students LOVE them!)

These spring-themed brain teasers could be used as bell ringers, an early finisher activity, or to start class discussions.

6 puzzles are provided. They progress in difficulty. Start with the first one and see how many students can solve!

Note: The last puzzle has no solution. You might present this as an April Fool’s joke, but it also is an important mathematical concept for students to justify their thinking!

They are included as printable task cards (in color and black & white) and as a PowerPoint file if you’d like to display slides for the whole class to see with no prep!

Answer recording sheets and answer keys are included as well.

How can students solve these?

What’s awesome is that students can use lots of methods!

Students can often use logic, guess & check, or their own version of elimination (even before being taught)!

Different solution methods are common and lead to great discussions!
