This secret message activity will amuse your 6th grade math students while learning how to solve one step equations. Your students' objective is to solve a series of such problems that are displayed on a chart. The answer to each problem represents the corresponding letter. There are blank lines with a number under each line. Those numbers represent the answers to the one step equations. After the students solve the equations, they will have to put the correct letter on each line to figure out t

Teaching style
My style involves questioning and student communication. I use questioning throughout my lessons so that the students can tap into their background knowledge in order to achieve the desired objectives of their lessons.

Additional biographical information
Although I have only taught grades K-5, I have always enjoyed doing math problems specifically involving one or two variables. This has led me to the desire to creating a store that involves engaging activities with those such problems integrated in them. I hope you and your students find the same satisfaction in these activities as I do.
The ultimate goal is to being the Elementary fun to Middle School Math.
Enjoy the Variable Soup!
