This is a riddle with 16 questions where students solve for a variable when there are variables on both sides. There is a modified and non-modified version. The modified version guides students in the process of solving. This is great for special education or when introducing solving equations. My students loved this activity and it kept their interest. Afterwards, they were more comfortable in the process of solving when there is a variable on both sides.

You can use this to differentiate when you have a gap between ability levels.
