Overview:
SolveMe Mobiles use the visual of a hanging mobile—shapes, strings, and beams—to represent algebraic equations. To keep the mobile balanced, students must determine the weight of each shape. By solving these puzzles, students build a foundation for pre-algebra and develop intuitive algebraic reasoning. Mathematical Concepts
Solve Me Mobiles focus on the following mathematical concepts:
Solve Me Mobiles consist of three levels of puzzles. It is beneficial to start with the beginning level puzzles to gain a basic understanding for the game. After a strong foundation has been built, feel free to choose an appropriate range of puzzles for your students. The levels include Explorer, Puzzler and Master. As the puzzles and levels progress, the problem solving becomes more complex with more shapes to resemble more unknowns and more beams to resemble more algebraic equations. Connection to the Math Practice Standards These puzzles support the following mathematical habits of mind:
