Worksheet Description

This Picture Titles worksheet is a cryptogram puzzle where the title of an artwork has been encrypted with a substitution cipher, replacing each letter with a random letter or number. Two letters in the puzzle have already been filled in as clues. Students must use these clues to decode the rest of the letters, revealing the title of the picture displayed. The provided alphabet row serves as a reference to assist students in cracking the code and determining which letters correspond to which symbols.

The worksheet is designed to teach students problem-solving and pattern recognition skills through the process of decryption. It encourages critical thinking as students must deduce the correct title by considering the given letters and the possible words they might form. This activity also serves to engage students’ interest in art by connecting the puzzle-solving process with the identification of a famous painting. By completing the worksheet, students practice their spelling and vocabulary, as they must recognize and form coherent words from the provided cryptic clues.
