Description
We practiced writing equations from words with equation riddles. The first 6 problems are a very basic translation. The next 6 include more challenging wording, fractions, or require parentheses. This is a great place to start with translating words into a 2-step equation!

Not as fun as I wanted
I expected it to be more engaging. It was clear and easy, but a little boring.
Great resource for my students. I believe this resource will really help in my middle school math class by giving them a better understanding of the concepts and helping them build more confidence in solving problems.
Definitely made my students think! I used this with my 7th grade advanced math class.
I used this in my 8th-grade math class to teach how to model and write equations! It was great to use as a worksheet or as guided notes to help them understand how to pick out the correct keywords from the problems.
My students loved using this resource to practice word problems and applying the skills they have learned
Writing equations is never fun or easy to do, so this made it more engaging for my students! Thanks!
This was very helpful for all types of students in 7th grade math!
This was a great resource. Very engaging activity for students.

CCSS7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS7.EE.B.4a
Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
