What educators are saying
My student enjoyed the challenge of this product. I used this as the together portion and had students create their own code language and write ciphers to each other.
I taught a unit on codes and ciphers, revolving around reading Book Scavenger. My students got really into learning more about ciphers and this challenge was a great resource to incorporate into the unit!
