Q&A

Description

In celebration of Black History Month...

This is a fun trivia activity on Google Slides [with PearDeck add-ons!] that allows students to practice:

1. solving linear equations in one variable

2. solving systems of linear equations in two variables, using the substitution method or the elimination method

..while learning about the accomplishments of various black athletes! The numerical answer to each equation/system that they solve, is the answer that goes in the blank of a sentence describing an accomplishment of a black athlete. For example, they solve the equation 1/2x - 10 = -3 to get "14" which goes in the blank for this sentence about Tiger Woods: "In 2008, Tiger Woods won his 14th Major Championship at the U.S. Open." Each equation/system that the students solve is followed up by a fun tidbit about the athlete/accomplishment, as well!

CCSS8.EE.C.7

Solve linear equations in one variable.

CCSS8.EE.C.7b

Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

CCSS8.EE.C.8

Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

CCSS8.EE.C.8b

Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3𝘹 + 2𝘺 = 5 and 3𝘹 + 2𝘺 = 6 have no solution because 3𝘹 + 2𝘺 cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.

CCSSHSA-REI.B.3

Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
