What are teachers saying about this solving equations activity?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"My students enjoyed using these as a SCOOT type of activity. It was an engaging way to have them work on multi step equations which is something that is difficult for them. They also loved the idea of being able to use their phones to check so the QR code thing is great!" -Jennifer M

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Great variety of problems. Students were able to build confidence and recognize patterns." -Maggie V

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I gave a packet of the 28 problems to each table of 4 students and turned it into a friendly competition to see which table could solve the most correctly. Since the problems were of different levels of difficulty it was interesting to see the strategies, students used to sort through and work together (and individually) on the problems. The students were very engaged." -Sandra O

Why Choose This Solving Equations Activity?

Every educator knows the challenge of making math appealing. With this activity, problems are separated, so there is only one problem per card. Having problems thin sliced this way allows students to focus only on one problem at a time. The QR codes allow students the satisfaction of immediate feedback and the opportunity to self-assess.

Please view the free preview file before purchasing to make sure your students are able to answer the types of questions asked!
