The activity features 20 one-step equations for students to solve, and as they correctly answer the questions, a mystery picture (Martin Luther King Jr. themed) will be revealed. The design of the activity makes it easy for students to self-check their answers, letting them receive immediate feedback and quickly identify and correct any mistakes they make. The activity is suitable for middle school students but has been specifically designed for sixth graders. It’s great that this activity is easy to implement in the classroom. All you need to do is share the link with the students and they are ready to go! The activity is designed to be engaging and interactive, so even the most reluctant students will be motivated to participate. By combining problem-solving with a mystery picture reveal, it encourages students to engage with the material and work towards a concrete goal, helping them to stay motivated and focused throughout the activity. The answers include only positive integers , so students will have the opportunity to practice working with both types of numbers. A printable version of the questions and answers is also included, making it easy to use in the classroom or at home. I used this activity as a sub plan with sixth graders, and they loved it. They where so engaged. Now I give them a pixel art activity as a price, if they are well behaved or on Fridays, or as homework if they need some extra practice. It is also a great activity to assign to fast finishers. Since this activity is online there is no need for Google or Microsoft logins. What's Included: Pdf with the link to the activity printable version of the questions Solutions
