MsQMathIsCool

This is a pdf of quick notes and short practice page used with my Math Lab (Algebra 1 Intervention) class to learn a new, and visual, way to solve equations. Most of my students are SPED and they really liked this new technique. I've uploaded this resource and its .doc counterpart to my website msq-mathiscool.weebly.com if you wanted to word document version to edit. Shoutout to @Crisstie Crim (https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Crisstie-Crim) for sharing the knowledge of this new way to

Use this activity to introduce the concepts of systems of equations in three variables. 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 these advanced types of systems of equations. The problems increase in difficulty. **May be best to introduce when setting up and solving matrices as well!
