Description

This engaging solving systems of equations by substitution activity is designed around a straightforward yet stimulating concept: students use their solving systems of equations by substitution skills to navigate through a series of interconnected problems. There are 16 systems of equation questions students must solve, a student recording sheet, and an answer key.

What's inside this Solving Systems of Equations Using Substitution Activity:

  1. Problems cards: 16 problems cards (printed 2 to a page)
  2. Encourage Movement: The activity is designed to be dynamic. Cut out the problem cards, scatter them around, and watch as students eagerly move from one challenge to the next, turning solving systems of equations by substitutiion into a fun experience.
  3. Recording Sheet: Students can solve each systems of equations problem on their sheet and record their answers.
  4. Answer Key: to allow for easy checking throughout the activity.
  5. Empower Independent Learning: Students can scan the optional QR codes for instant feedback, allowing them to track their progress, identify mistakes, and correct them on the go.

How to utilize this solving systems of equations scavenger hunt:

  1. Simply cut and display the thin sliced solving systems of equations using substitution questions throughout the classroom.
  2. Group students into teams of 2-3 for collaborative problem-solving.
  3. Assign starting problems to each group. They'll solve, scan, and move based on their answers.
  4. The hunt continues until each group completes all questions and circles back to their start.

What are teachers saying about this activity?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Good practice -- gives me time to work individually with students struggling." - Timothy L.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Students love getting out of their seats and moving. Sometimes I hide them around the school to make it a little more fun for students." -Sydney H.

QR code scanners can be downloaded for free onto apple products (like IPhones, IPods, IPads, and many smart phones. I use the app “scan life” that is available in the google store for android phones.
