fun might be a little time consuming once having figured the answer then decode the answer and put it together but still very fun for the kids

Nice activity, but I think it is more challenging if the mathematical sentences are harder.

The answer is "Simplifying algebra is easy." It's a fun drill activity, but I prefer more actual problem solving.

I really like this lesson, but agreed I need the answer key. Once I have it, I will definitely use it!

I am using this resource again this year. Has been a success inthe past and I am now adapting it for use on the Promethean board for team discussions. Originals are laminated as suggested so have been used by others in the dept. Thanks for this resource
