"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your secondary math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank with 10 integers and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in random teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!

If you are implementing Building Thinking Classrooms this year, "The Answers Are..." is a great thinking task to do with your students at your Vertical Whiteboard stations during the first week of school. Once they solve one of the puzzles, they will keep coming back for more.

This lesson includes the following:

• 10 Different Task Cards using Integers
• Solutions for each Task Card
• Complete lesson instructions and pacing
• A Free Canva Template to create your own Task Cards

This activity works great as...

• a beginning of school thinking task for grades 8 and up
• a challenging activity for your 7th grade students
• an extension activity for your 6th grade students
• a way to get your students out of their seats, standing at their whiteboards, and thinking deeply about math.
