How It Works:
This activity works like a crossword puzzle, but students fill in mathematical expressions instead of letters. Students solve each Across and Down problem and record their answers in the puzzle. The puzzle is self-checking, because answers that don’t fit help students spot and correct mistakes. It can be completed independently or with a partner, with one partner completing the Across problems and the other completing the Down problems.
