Description
Help Algebra 1 students practice solving systems of equations with this self-checking digital pixel art activity. Students solve each system and write the solution as an ordered pair. As correct answers are entered, a festive Happy New Year pixel art image is revealed.
This low-prep digital activity is designed for review, independent practice, or assessment after teaching systems of equations. Built-in feedback allows students to self-correct while staying focused on the math, making it a reliable option for both in-person and online classrooms.
How It Works
Students solve systems of linear equations and type their solutions as ordered pairs. Each correct answer reveals part of the pixel art image. Incorrect answers do not reveal pixels, prompting students to revisit their work without interrupting instruction.

Why Teachers Love It
This activity is self-checking, so students instantly know whether their answers are correct. Correct answers reveal part of the pixel art image, while incorrect answers do not. This encourages accuracy, supports independent work, and reduces the need for constant teacher feedback.
Â
This pixel art activity will work for both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel!
Â
MICROSOFT NOTE: Once downloaded to excel, the problem pictures may be distorted based on the device and screen size. After you purchase and download this activity, you can adjust the size of the problem pictures to fit in the boxes before giving it to students.
Â
TIP: Be sure to give your students a copy where they CANNOT edit your original. Be sure to delete the answers before sharing with your students. This will make the picture disappear.
