Systems Crossroads: Systems of Linear Equations Game for Grade 8
Steer two vehicles to the one point where their roads cross.
You are the dispatcher. Two roads, each a linear equation, meet at a crossroads, and your job is to find it. Tap the crossing on a graph, solve pairs of equations by substitution or elimination, test whether a point works for both roads, spot roads that never meet or are the same road, and solve delivery and rental word problems. Three levels build from reading graphs to standard-form systems.

What kids practise
Systems Crossroads gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with systems of linear equations, graphing lines, substitution, elimination, parallel lines, and linear word problems. It is written for grade 8. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
Controls: Tap the crossing on the map (or move the marker with the arrow keys) and press Lock in or Enter. For answer buttons, tap them or press the number keys 1-4. Press Enter on the Next button to continue. P pauses, M mutes.
It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
