Students really enjoyed the coloring. They found it "relaxing". I also loved how they have to plug in values for variables as a second step in figuring out what to color. It helped demonstrate "why" we learn to solve literal equations.

I love to use these coloring activities with my students. For my students who need an added incentive to complete their work so that they have a finished product or for those students that need some extra credit, the coloring activities provide exactly the resource needed. Thank you!

Here's the twist I did because honestly, only a handful of 8th grade students ever want to complete the coloring part: they colored the box they chose, and had to give me a "code" - which was the sum of all the evaluated answers. Worked great! Thank you
