This activity gets students to work through a series of algebra questions to find the combination that will unlock the code. In groups, or individually, students must work through each set of questions, which encourages them to practise simplifying expressions, collecting like terms, factorising expressions and expanding expressions. Once each set of questions are completed, they must add up some part of each answer (this is specified in each set) to find a total. The final digit in the total wi
