This resource is included in the Thin-Slicing Activities Bundle! About this resource: This resource was utilized as a "thin-slicing" (see the book Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter Liljedahl) activity for students to progress from developing their understanding of distance on a number line through solving absolute value equations with multiple steps (e.g. two operations both inside and outside). There are 12 cards in the progression. This application multiple uses in your classroom: Thin-slicing lesson within groups Practice for an upcoming quiz or test A quiz or test Comprehension Check So much more! What topic(s) is/are covered? solving absolute value equations Your answer key is included for grading! Directions for use: organize your students into groups print out a copy of the cards for each group to have their own print on cardstock and laminate for future use provide each group with the first card and have them write the card on the top of their whiteboard students can progress to the next card once they demonstrate a check for their solution Want to try something similar?
