Visual Substitution for a System of Equations
This powerpoint uses pictures of apples and bananas to represent a real-world system of equations. Using click-by-click animation, students can see how one apple can be replaced with three bananas because they are of equal value. This series of slides then lays the ground work for students to move from pictorial equations to symbolic equations using number and variables.
