Solve an Absolute Value Equa�on Like No Other with Mul�ple Crea�ve Clever Ways to Do It

One of my new favorite ac�vi�es that involves using graphs, tables, factoring, the quadra�c formula, as
well as having students THINK! Students will need to reason analy�cally about absolute value equa�ons
and quadra�c equa�ons in ways that they have not been asked to do before. Mul�ple solu�on paths.
This will be a fun one! Grades 6 - 12
