Order of Operations with Integers Self-Checking Digital Activity

Order of Operations with Integers Self-Checking Digital Activity

This resource is designed to reimagine the teaching and learning experience in mathematics. It targets middle school students, particularly those who find textbook problems uninteresting or struggle with orders of operations with integers.

About the Activity

This digital activity employs pixel art pictures that are revealed progressively as students correctly answer math questions. Once a question is solved, pupils input their final answer into a designated cell. A correct response changes the color to green and forms part of the mystery image. However, if an incorrect one is typed, no new picture emerges—prompting learners to revisit their calculations.

Packaged Features

• A Google Sheet featuring twenty problems.
• An Answer Key for reference purposes.
• An optional page offering space for explanations underscoring logical thought development—an essential facet in mathematics education.
