WHO FOUND IT?

Solving 1 Step Inequalities
ü Avery Apple has Algebra class 6th period. Before she arrives to class, she realizes she lost her Algebra
homework! She must have left it somewhere in the school before then. She doesn’t remember where or
when she lost it, but surely someone must have found it! She needs to figure it out before class starts!
ü Who found Avery Apple’s homework? Where did they find it? And when?
ü Solve the “clues” on the other page. After solving each clue, find your answer on this page and cross off
the corresponding box.
ü When you complete all of the clues, there should only be 3 boxes unchecked. This will solve the mystery!
ü When you think you’ve solved it, scan the QR code to check if you’re right!
