Solving Equations Codbreakers
Free
The name of these was born out of a typo (obviously) but it’s the usual format: do some maths (solve equations in this case) to find the punchline to a cheesy joke about fish, hence the “codbreaker”. Good for a starter, main activity or a plenary in my experience and the students enjoy finding the punchline, especially being the first to do so. This involves anything from two-step equations to variables on both sides including fractional parts. Number 2 is more challenging than number 1.
