Solve One Step & Two Step Equations – Scavenger Hunt – 6th Grade
$3.00
Description
Could your kids use a fun review of solving equations? This class activity is FUN and gets kids up and moving!
Use this as extra practice with kids in 6th grade who are still working to master solving equations, or as a review for kids in 7th or 8th grade who are struggling and need extra practice.
This scavenger hunt includes problems with positive solutions only, for students who have not yet learned about operations with integers.
In addition, a recording page is included so students can show their work for each problem as they make their way around the room.
How the Scavenger Hunt Works:
The scavenger hunt includes 10 problems for kids to solve a variety of linear equations. To set it up, post all 10 problems in various locations around your room. Give each student a recording sheet and then you’re ready to get started!
To begin, kids can start with ANY of the problems. They solve it on their recording sheet and then have to FIND the solution somewhere around the classroom.
When they find the answer to the problem, they solve the NEXT problem in the scavenger hunt.
Eventually, they will end up back where they started and they’ll know they have completed the hunt correctly.
Tips for Using This in the Classroom:
-
Give kids a clipboard to make it easier to record their work and answers as they move about the room
-
Let kids work with partners as they make their way through the scavenger hunt
-
If you have a large class, assign kids a starting problem so they’re not all bunched together at the same location
-
Collect the recording sheets as an informal assessment of how your students are doing
-
Use this as an end-of-unit review, end-of-the-year review or as a substitute activity (be sure to do this with your students prior to leaving it with a sub so students know how it works)
Additional Skills Practice:
This download also includes 2 additional practice worksheets to provide students with additional, independent practice with solving equations.
Use these with students who need additional support and practice, as an individual grade after the whole class activity, or to send home as homework practice.
There are two silly riddle worksheets included.
On each practice page, students solve equations and match their answer to one in the given list.
When they are finished, they write the corresponding letters in order to solve the silly riddle.
If your kids struggle with solving equations, you may want to use the practice worksheets BEFORE completing the class scavenger hunt to help review and support students who need it.
