equations · solving systems by graphing, substitution, or elimination
To solve systems of equations by graphing, substitution or elimination [8.EE.C.8c].
THE SYSTEMS RACE is a Grade 8 board game for solving systems of two linear equations. Each landing space contains a system in x and y, and students may solve it by graphing, substitution, or elimination before the move can stand. The board format mixes methods while keeping the goal focused on accurate ordered-pair solutions.
Use it for partner or small-group review after students have learned more than one system-solving method. Comparing approaches on the same system can help students decide which method is most efficient in a particular case.
