Solving Algebra and Pattern Problems is a collection of 11 activities that introduce, reinforce and provide practice for students in using algebraic equations to solve problems and define patterns. Each activity is hands-on, engaging and easily adapted to provide for differentiation at many levels. Four of the activities combine algebra with engaging children's books.

Included are all 11 activities, teacher notes for the lessons, directions for each, game cards, game boards and anything else needed to use the lesson. Each of these lessons is also available individually in my TpT store.
