Algebra 1 Unit 3: Equations of Lines Project
Name: _______________________________________________________ Date: _______________________
For your project you are going to create a comic strip, with a minimum of 8 comic scenes, detailing how
to solve a multi-step equation for a given variable. Your equation must take at least three steps to solve
and must include at least 3 different operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide, distribute, simplify, etc.).
Comics must remain appropriate for school and must be some-what funny. On the back of the paper
there is a rubric of how you will be graded. Turning this sheet in with your comic will be worth 2 points
extra credit.
