Students who need practice performing subtraction of a single digit can use this short worksheet that provides immediate feedback. It is self-checking. While having fun decoding a secret message (and... More > getting immediate, satisfying feedback) young students will complete ten subtraction problems. (A secondary goal of the worksheet for some students is for them to use inductive reasoning to notice that in all of the problems the second term is half of the first, so the difference will always be equal to the subtracted term.) Similar PUZZLE MATH worksheets and books on subtraction and later math topics are available at www.lulu.com/roxlulu, including, "PUZZLE MATH: Simple Subtraction Practice", "PUZZLE MATH: Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, and Dividing Fractions", and "PUZZLE MATH: Trigonometry and Logarithms".< Less
In this free algebra decoder worksheet students solve 2-step equations and then match their answers to parts of a secret message. Students are reinforced by immediate feedback which is excellent for... More > both learning and motivation. If teachers require students to show work, they reduce much grading overhead, because a correctly decoded message with work shown indicates the student has performed the standard. Whether students are working with Core Curriculum State Standards also known as Core Standards or with an individual state or countries' standards, solving equations is definitely a required skill. Finally, students can be taught some of the fundamentals of equation-solving even ahead of the typical prerequisite of performing operations with negative numbers.< Less
