This is a video introduction to the activity Nuggets and Scales from Brad & Bill’s book Simply Great Math Activities: Algebra Readiness. Teachers can use this video in the classroom as an easy way to introduce unknown quantities, set up and solve linear equations, and incorporate language in the process. This can be used to easily show students a nice transition from a visual representation to the abstract algebra.
The preceding post has a video showing teachers the pedagogical structure of the activity.
