One-Step Equations (with Integers) Team Relay

Practice solving one-step addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations with integers with these fun mystery letter team relays!

Each relay has students work in groups of 4 to solve various 1-step equations. Each student will need to use the previous student's answer in order to solve their problem.
- Student 1 will solve an addition equation
- Student 2 will solve a subtraction equation
- Student 3 will solve a multiplication equation
- Student 4 will solve a division equation

*** The equations contain both positive and negative integers. If you are looking for one-step equations with only positive whole numbers, click here! ***

Student 4's answer will tell the group the mystery letter. Checking if a group completed the relay correctly is as simple as checking their mystery letter!

There are 4 relays included (all set up the same way) so that students can rotate roles each time, giving each student an opportunity to complete each of the 4 types of one-step equations.
