Crack the Code: Integer Puzzle

You just won an amazing prize, but it’s locked in a safe! Thankfully, the code is a single integer between -40 and 40, and you’ve got the clues to solve it. Students will read each clue, then cross out the integers that don’t fit. Eventually, learners will narrow down their options down to the one integer that opens the safe.

Designed for a seventh-grade curriculum, this worksheet is a fun way to test students’ knowledge of positive and negative integers. Learners will be asked about integer addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and absolute value in order to find their answer. This helps reinforce relevant skills and vocabulary before moving on to more complex integer concepts.
