Teaching tips
Have students solve independently first, then reveal the message as a class to self-check their equation-solving accuracy.
Since the file is labeled editable, adjust the equation values or message to create a fresh version for retests.
Use as a fast-finisher or homework activity, since it only requires eight short equations.
Skills covered
Solving one-step equations — students isolate the variable in equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, e.g., -9 = r - 16 and 5m = 95.
Solving proportion equations — students solve 3/4 = n/16 using cross-multiplication or equivalent fractions.
Self-checking via decoding — students use their solved values to spell out a hidden message, which confirms accuracy through the puzzle format.
