I decided to practise a version for my students to endeavor who finished their nine weeks exam early.


To boot the bucket along things to a greater extent than manageable, I decided to solely role the numbers 1-15 amongst my students. So, I typed upwards a ready of lay out cards as well as a menu amongst the puzzle's instructions.


I laminated the cards, cutting them apart, as well as placed them into the novel foursquare shaped snack bags from Wal-mart. I'm non certain how I experience nearly this novel kind of snack bag...


Even though I had typed upwards the instructions, I institute that my students actually needed to listen me explicate the chore aloud for them to grasp what it was hollo for them to do.


Even though they were quick to claim the puzzle was impossible, around students persevered! 


I convey uploaded the file for this activeness here.
