What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Circle the odd one out in sets of rational numbers, such as repeating decimals and equal sums, and say why. The directions on the page read: Read the rule for each set. Three items follow the rule and one does not. Circle the odd one out. On the line, write why it does not follow the rule. An answer key is included.
Can I use this number puzzles worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade math puzzles, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What are number puzzles?
⌄
Puzzles where the numbers follow a pattern or rule, such as ladders, pyramids and magic squares.
What skills do they cover?
⌄
Integer and decimal sums, signed fraction products and quotients, and two-step equations, plus a coordinate reflection picture and a nonogram.
Do they have answer keys?
⌄
15 of the 16 do. The Signed Number Dots and Boxes Game is a partner game and has none.
