This, the sixth in the Doodles Do Algebra™ series is focused on solving simple equations. Your child will use all the basic tools they have learned to this point, along with the three common elimination techniques to solve first degree equations with two and more unknowns. The book ends by walking your child through the classic physics problem: when will two messengers meet?

• Solving equations
• Simple equations with one unknown
• Solving word problems that include one unknown
• Solving two equations, 2 unknowns
  • Elimination by substitution
  • Elimination by comparison
  • Elimination by addition and subtraction
• Solving 3 equations, 3 unknowns
• Solving word problems with multiple unknowns
• Meaning of a negative solution (answer)

This, the book in the Doodles Do Algebra™ series is designed as the sixth step to learning Algebra. Your child will learn how to solve simple equations, get more practice with word problems, explore three different methods of solving systems of two equations and two unknowns, and learn how to expand those techniques to solving for additional unknowns in larger systems of equations. Finally the student will learn the real-world meaning of negative solutions to equations.

This curriculum is designed to accommodate the growing and changing maturity of a child throughout the year. In order to teach a child with this curriculum, a parent needs one copy of the Teacher Edition and one copy of the Student Workbook for each child.
