My Algebra 1 classes managed to larn a chip off schedule of ane only about other this by week. So, I declared Mon to move a "Catch-Up Day." My classes that were behind were given our latest assignment as well as the flat catamenia to operate on it. My classes that were caught upward worked on finishing the assignment they had already started as well as working on whatever other missing assignments.
My classes that were ahead of my other classes were given the run a jeopardy to "Maximize the Sum." This is nevertheless only about other puzzle that I constitute in Puzzle Box, Volume 3 (affiliate link). Yes, I know I appear a chip obsessed amongst this serial of puzzle books. I hope it is for adept reason!
Students are given a grid of 25 numbers. Their chore is to circle 5 numbers from the grid that volition maximize the sum. There is a twist: no ii numbers tin move move circled if they are inwards the same row or column. So, y'all volition goal upward amongst ane discover inwards each row as well as ane discover inwards each column.
My students had a difficult fourth dimension agreement these rules despite reading them (at to the lowest degree I intend they read them!) as well as my going over the rules at to the lowest degree twice.
I printed off the puzzles as well as slid them each into a dry erase pocket (affiliate link) as well as thence that students could easily modify their circled numbers later on finding the sum.
I had students outcry out their sums equally they constitute them, as well as thence that students would know what the "sum to beat" was. My students ended upward coming upward amongst a higher amount than the response telephone commutation at the dorsum of the mass said, as well as thence I'm pretty confident nosotros maximized the sum.
When I solved this puzzle, I constitute it real interesting that my get-go as well as 2nd approaches to the puzzle which I idea would maximize the amount truly didn't! This puzzle didn't accept my students real long at all. We were completely done amongst the puzzle inwards less than 5 minutes. So, this ane is keen if y'all are brusque on time!
I've uploaded the file for this puzzle here. I can't recommend checking out the Puzzle Box books (affiliate link) plenty for other puzzles to purpose inwards your classroom!
