Solving Open Sentences Involving Absolute Value

There are many equations Algebra I students are not ready to solve. Graphing to solve gives them a strategy to use when they are unsure of an algebraic approach to solve the problem. The lesson exposes learners to a wide variety of types...

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II lesson plan makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process...

Lets keep the system working and show learners the three ways to solve linear systems of equations. Each method includes step-by-step instructions to work their way through the problem. The same problem is used for each method to show...

You know how to find absolute values and you know how to solve inequalities — but what happens when these two concepts are in the same problem? A YouTube video first reviews absolute values and moves on to solving absolute value...

Sal demonstrates how to solve an absolute value equation, keeping in mind there are two possible answers.

Sal demonstrates how to solve an equation. He begins by saying that the variable needs to be isolated. He shows how to move numbers on either side of the equal sign to isolate the variable. He also shows how to verify answers by plugging...

Here is an equation in which the first step is to use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis. Then it is solved for the variables. Since there are variables on both sides of the equation, it is important to verify the...

Solving a simple absolute value equation.

What does solving an inequality have in common with solving an equation? Almost everything! A math resource focuses on the one exception. The examples lead learners through the steps of solving an equality when multiplying or dividing by...

Why are you so negative? Just take me for my absolute value! A video gives the definition of absolute value as its relationship to a number line before the presenter provides an explanation of how to interpret situations as absolute value.
