Systems of Equations Basketball Game

The game is based on the following Common Core Math Standards:

CCSS6.EE.2
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for
numbers.

CCSS6.EE.3
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to
produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property
to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression
6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the
equivalent expression 3y.

CCSS6.EE.4
Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two
expressions name the same number regardless of which value is
substituted into them). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y
are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which
number y stands for.
