Description
For this Christmas themed project based learning activity, students will use linear equations to help Santa solve a variety of holiday-related problems. This project is designed to reinforce their understanding of linear equations. This project includes writing, solving, and graphing linear equations. In addition, there is an optional presentation aspect to the project to help strengthen student communication skills.
Topics Covered:
Distance equation Linear Equations (writing and solving)
Slope Intercept Form
Calculating time and distance
Slope Graphing on the coordinate plane
Problem solving involving time Presentation skills (optional)
Ready to implement with no prep for the teacher!

CCSS7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS7.EE.B.4a
Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
CCSS8.EE.C.7
Solve linear equations in one variable.
CCSS8.EE.C.7a
Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form 𝘹 = 𝘢, 𝘢 = 𝘢, or 𝘢 = 𝘣 results (where 𝘢 and 𝘣 are different numbers).
CCSS8.EE.C.7b
Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
