Description

Absolute Value Equations Math Lib

In this activity, students will practice solving absolute value equations as they rotate through 10 stations. Several problems will require students to isolate the absolute value expression.

The answer at each station will give them a piece to a story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.) This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the "star" of the story.

EDIT ALL STORY ELEMENTS! All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.

GOOGLE FORM OPTION: This activity includes a link to a Google Forms version of the activity. If you have already purchased this resource, please redownload for the update.

This is a modified version of my popular Math Lib Activity in that there is only one correct story.
