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

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.

NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!
