Absolute Value Equations
We try out the projector/whiteboard combo as Yay Math takes on absolute value equations! We investigate "bifurcating" (which sounds like when mathematicians end a relationship) and also situations when there's no solution. Enjoy the magically scrolling screen!

Absolute Value Inequalities
Absolute value is always positive, so why not take a lesson from it and always be positive too? Inequalities though make absolute value more challenging. We investigate bifurcation and other scenarios. Good energy for this lesson, YAY MATH!
