Solving one and two step equations – Treasure Hunt.
Could also be used as a solving equations differentiated loop card resource if it is not suitable for a class to complete as a treasure hunt. I tend to use as a loop card particularly with year 11 for tasks and revision.
Contains;
1. 10 amber cards/questions. 10 green cards/questions.
2.Cross Curricular link encourages literacy with the pupils, mathematical discussion in pairs on how to solve problems around the classroom (this is a massive focus in our school).
3. 20 solutions provided within task itself. Each card is beside that answer to make it easy for you to check when pupils say they are finished.
4. Set of instructions to ensure the task runs smoothly.
Printing Tip if using as a treasure hunt: This resource has been designed to display around the classroom. You will need one copy (I like to have in colour, but can be black and white) to put up around the room. Print on A4. If you wish to print, select ‘shrink’ or ‘print to fit page’ (or fit to page option on your print settings) in order for it to print correctly on A4.
Printing Tip if using as a loop card: You will need a number of copies, depending on class size, one pack per table. You could decide who was completing amber and who was completing green beforehand so you knew how many sets you needed. (I like to have in colour, but can be black and white). Print on A4 but I would shrink, two A5 pages per A4 to save on printing costs. If you wish to print, select ‘shrink’ or ‘print to fit page’ (or fit to page option on your print settings) in order for it to print correctly on A4.
Idea behind task;
To develop pupil’s mathematical discussion skills. To encourage pupils to get involved, engaged in task. To encourage mathematical discussion within the classroom. Watch pupils get motivated while consolidating learning – quick way to get pupils to engage in task and complete questions in a short space of time.

A mix of solving equations tasks
A mix of one step equations, two step equations, solving with unknowns on both sides and construct and solve equation tasks. Suitable for introduction to solving equations and getting pupils to complete as a main task of a lesson, as a plenary, could also be used as a consolidation/revision session. Answers provided for each task.
Treasure Hunt Bundle
Pupils love to get moving - particularly if you need to wake them up first thing on a Monday morning. Great to get pupils involved and discussing the maths. Really enjoy watching the pupils engage with this style task.
