  • What Educators Are Saying

Students will practice solving absolute value equations as they rotate through 10 stations with this “Math Lib” Activity. Several problems will require students to isolate the absolute value expression. The answer at each station will give them a piece to a story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.)

This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the “star” of the story.

Edit all story elements!

All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.

Google Form Option:

This activity includes a link to a Google Forms version of the activity. If you have already purchased this resource, please redownload for the update.

My students loved this activity! It's short enough for students to complete within the time frame of the class period, but interesting enough to keep the students engaged. I will be doing more Math Libs this school year!

-STEPHANIE S.

I used these under my document camera to review absolute value. My kids used dry erase boards to solve. It was a great way to work and to catch mistakes. I loved not having to search for practice problems.

-CHRISTOPHER W.

Thank you! This resource really engaged my students and allowed them to double check their answers. Students' engagement increases if the Math Lib message is personalized.
