Literal equations is one of the topics in Algebra that I struggle finding different activities for. Literal equations is one of those topics that is very procedural and not very conceptual. I put together a list of different activities from #mtbos on Twitter. Look through each of these and see which ones you might like.

Ss in algebra 1 solve for literal equations first by sorting them by the operations they needed to use solve them. Then, choosing two from each column to solve on their own. @BCPSMATH pic.twitter.com/0ah3edjl5r

Today I used @NewVisionsNYC literal equations matching task as we wrap up our unit. Loved the placemat and justification space. Enjoy this off guard photo of me taken today on my phone without my knowledge. #iteachmath #teacherlife pic.twitter.com/80sDoDj9Nj
