Finding the Solution

equations · solving multi-step linear equations

To solve multi-step linear equations [8.EE.C.7b].

Finding the Solution is a Grade 8 algebra game for solving multi-step linear equations with variables on both sides. Card values generate the coefficients and constants in an equation, including positive and negative values, so each round produces a new problem. Students simplify, combine like terms, and solve for the variable under a time limit, turning equation solving into repeated practice with changing numbers.

Use it with partners or a small group after students know the steps for solving multi-step equations. Compare methods and check how sign errors or combining-like-terms mistakes affect the solution.
