Solving Literal Equations Snowball Fight Activity
With this activity, each student will receive a problem to crumple up into a paper ball. The teacher will turn the lights off to signal to the students to through their problem, creating the snowball fight. Once the lights are turned back on, the students each find a problem, solve their problem, and then stand by their solution which is displayed around the room. The process would then continue. A key and specific instructions are included.

Writing and Solving Equations Placemat Activity
Divide students into groups of four. Each group will receive a set of placements (1-5, depending on time). Each student will complete his/her problem that is closest to them on a whiteboard.After all members of the group have finished, the group will add all of their answers together. One students will write the sum of their answers in the circle on the mat. If the group is correct, they will move to the next placemat. If the group is incorrect, they will look through each other’s work to identi
