Brick Wall Problems
Students are presented with increasingly challenging algebra problems to solve. Each wall consist of three bricks in the lower row, two bricks in the middle row and one brick on the top row. Students complete the wall by adding two algebraic terms to find the term which sits in the brick above. However, in most cases the lower row is not complete, but other values have been included requiring students to subtract algebraic terms. Students are challenged to create their own wall.
