Grades 6-8: Solving Equations

In this activity, students determine which value of a variable will balance a hanger. It includes one- and two-step equations. Students also have the opportunity to draw their own hangers, and determine what equation is represented by each hanger. This activity was inspired by, and the screens were adapted from, Nathan Kraft's One-Step Equations: Balancing the Hanger. https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/5b92e7a407624d32bf1bf88a
