Two-Step Equations (with Whole Numbers) Team Relay

Practice solving two-step equations with whole numbers with these fun mystery letter team relays!

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

*** The equations in these relays contain only positive whole numbers! ***

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 with the same set-up) so that students can rotate roles each time, giving each student an opportunity to complete each of the different types of 2-step equations.
