Changing Word Problems into Systems of Linear Equations

Students expressed a concern that setting up story problems is difficult. Because of this, I gave students 7 story problems to work on, and helped set up equations for about half of the problems. These problems are due on Monday, complete with meaningful variables, equations and check steps.

Tonight's Homework: Complete the green word problem worksheet. For extra credit, you may wish to complete page 443 or page 821 (or both, for even more extra credit).
