Use this activity to introduce the concepts of systems of equations. Students will solve for the value of a shape (as if it was a variable). Would be great to use as a hook or warm-up before showing actual systems of equations. The problems increase in difficulty.

Experience
I am a math teacher in Texas. The 2023-2024 school year with my 9th year teaching.
Teaching style
I like to use a mix of old-fashioned spiral note-taking and fill-in the blank notes. I like short notes, leaving time for students to practice with collaborative or electronic activities and projects.
