Linear Systems with Addition and Subtraction: Fill in the Boxes 2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Linear Systems with Addition and Subtraction: Fill in the Boxes 2 interactive also includes:
  • Solving Linear Systems by Elimination: An Explanation
  • Solving Linear Systems by Elimination: An Application
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

Systematically combine shapes to arrive at one solution. The resource models a system of linear equations using colored shapes. Pupils follow rules to combine circles and squares to add the two equations together, resulting in one equation with one variable. Learners use the value of the one variable to find the complete system's solution.
