This worksheet is called “Fruit Crack the Code”. It’s a fun way for students to practice addition while also using their problem-solving skills. Here’s how it works:
- Each fruit has a secret number code. The students need to figure out what number each fruit represents.
- Use the equations to crack the code. The equations on the page give you clues. For example, if you see “apple + banana = 12”, you need to find two numbers that add up to 12. One of those numbers will be the code for “apple”, and the other will be the code for “banana”.
- Write the code numbers in the boxes. Once you’ve figured out a fruit’s code, write it in the box under that fruit.
The purpose of this worksheet is to help students:
Make math fun: The fruit theme makes the worksheet more engaging and enjoyable for students.
Practice addition: The main focus is on adding numbers together.
Improve problem-solving: Students need to use the clues to figure out the codes, which helps them think critically.
