This free one-step equations math lib activity is a fun, low-prep way for students to practice solving one-step equations while creating a holiday-themed story as they move through ten stations.
How It Works:
Students rotate through the stations, and the answer at each station reveals a piece of a holiday story (who, doing what, with whom, where, when, etc.). It’s a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and students love reading their finished stories to the class, especially when they find out which of their teachers is the “star” of the story!
Edit all story elements!
All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.
This activity works very well with Math 6 Unit 5: Equations & Inequalities or Math 7 Unit 3: Equations & Inequalities.
