This is a riddle worksheet in which students use an answer bank to solve a (slightly cheesy) joke. They like this activity because it makes the math meaningful and FUN. Teachers like it because the answer bank gives students a tool to self-assess.

Because of the answer bank for students and answer sheet for teachers, this activity is great for home, school and special education students! Great for warm-ups, great for use for a substitute teacher.

In this worksheet, students eliminate a radical from the denominator of a fraction. They practice square roots and simplifying fractions in some pre-algebra that is important for upper level math courses.
