Use these entertaining math puzzles for your students to practice finding balanced equations with addition and subtraction including decimals. This pack contains three differentiated puzzles where students must carry and borrow numbers to complete the additions and subtractions, some of which include decimals and negative numbers. Each puzzle has a complete set and a muddled puzzle set. I have used these to great success over the last few weeks. My children have loved them and are now pros balancing equations.
