Suggested supplies (do not spend a lot of money!):
construction paper
bamboo skewers
string
glue

Requirements:
Congratulations, you have chosen to do the solve a linear equation mobile project!  In a nut shell this is what you are going to do.  You are going to make up your own linear equation (and solve it) on a mobile that is balanced (just like your equation).  your prioritise are as follows:

1) Write and solve your linear equation correctly showing each step as one piece of your mobile
2) Making your mobile balanced and able to move freely
3) Including a theme from one (or more) of your classes.  Sorry, lunch and recess do not count.
4) Making your project pretty



Grading:
If your solution to your equation is wrong, the best you can get is a Partially Proficient.

Advanced:
Six levels (5 sticks / 6 papers)
Equation requires 6 steps to solve and is done correctly
Mobile is balanced and moving freely
Writing is neat and easy to read
Papers have a recognizable theme and are aesthetically pleasing

Proficent:
