Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution - Turkey Themed/Thanksgiving Practice

(0)
This is an engaging thanksgiving themed practice or turkey themed task cards/slides on solving systems of linear equations by substitution. The slides with problems are eight. On each slide there is given one system of linear equations. Students have to solve it and type their answers in boxes provided. Then students are asked to evaluate an expression of type ax+by for the value of the variables x and y that they have already obtained. Thus learners not only practice solving systems by substitution, but they “touch” on the method by which systems of linear equations are created. This product can be used as independent/extra practice, homework assignment. Answer keys are contained at the end of this document. Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving Day!

Linear Systems with 3 Variables "What Kind of Penguin is This?" Activity

(0)
This is an engaging and fun penguin themed activity on solving systems of linear equations with three variables. On each slide/page students are given a system to solve, a picture of a penguin and a hint - one sentence that is information about the penguin. Students have to solve the problem and use their answer to find out what kind of penguin is this. They search for their answer in a table where there is a name of a kind of penguin corresponding to each answer. Students can record the number of the problem (that is also the number of the penguin) in the table in the row where is written the answer of the problem. There are 8 slides/pages (8 problems and 8 types of penguins). The problems are 4 pairs of systems that have the same values for the variables x and y and different values for the variable z so students have to be more careful when searching for the answers in the table. The product can be used as independent/class practice, extra practice, partner activity (as example while partner A solves problem 2, partner B will solve problem 3 - partners will get similar answers, the values of x and y will be the same and the difference will be only in the value of the variable z),etc Answer key is contained at the end of this document.

nikimathnikimath

Quadratic Equations with Complex Solutions - Partner Drawing Activity (typed solutions)

(0)
In this activity students will practice solving quadratic equations in standard form by the quadratic formula and by completing the square. All equations have complex solutions. Students will also practice plotting points on a coordinate plane, representing the values of the complex roots of the quadratic equations. An amusing part is the drawing activity where partners will draw easy drawing symbols around the plotted points and will produce a nice picture together. Activity Directions: Each partner is supposed to solve individually eight quadratic equations. The equations are marked with different symbols. Student solves the equations given like this: one equation - by the quadratic formula and the other - by completing the square and it goes still that way. Students show detailed solutions on the recording sheets provided. Then partners plot all the points, representing the values of the complex solutions they have already found on a coordinate plane given. They consider the symbol of each equation to be the symbol of its roots as well. At last students draw the symbol of each equation around the plotted points, corresponding to its complex solutions. All answer keys and FULL SOLUTIONS of the problems are included.
