Encourage your 6th grade math students to use their higher-order thinkig skills in this activity. Students will critically think as they develop the question to the given answer. This includes 14 different 6th grade math topics. There is one topic per page. Each topic consists of 5 different “questions.” The questions are actually the answers given to five different problems, and the students have to create the questions. This will help your students think deeper about the mathematics.
The 14 topics include:
An answer sheet is NOT included. Due to the nature of the activity, the answers will widely vary. I have included sample answers for various questions to give the teacher an idea of what to accept. A suggestion for the teacher: do not be so strict on students writing the right “answer” for this activity. Rather this is to challenge students to think beyond basic algorithms. Focus on the thinking of the students and you can learn a great deal on what your students really understand.
These would be great to use for assessments, homework, math centers, group work, or individual work.
