Patriotic Math Ladder

©1998 AIM Consultants/Tom Palumbo

 

A. 177 - 59 =

G. (12 x 12) + 133 =

B. 9 X 9 =

H. 3 x 9 =

C. (2 X 2) + 4 =

I . 34/17 =

D. (13 x 13) + 10 =

J. (33 + 33) x 10 =

E. (3 x 6) + 1 =

K. 5 x 12 =

F. 3/3 =

L. (3 x 4) - (6 x 2) =

Complete the problems above and record them in the correct boxes in the grid. As you go to the right in a math ladder, each answer contains one less number than it did in A, D, G, J. The number not used in B, E, H or K goes in column 1. The number not used in C, F, I or L goes in column 2. Find the secret message then make some math ladders of your own. You might want to salute the birth and death of a famous person found in your studies (president, author, music star, scientist or inventor). What did my math ladder salute? These dates were very important to Philadelphia and our country.
