In this podcast James Bond must solve an equation to save Miss Rani. Although it is a little cheesy, the use of the balance scale is very well done. This would be a great introduction to solving equations. I would have students watch this and then work through several equations. There are many online interactive equation balance scales that students can practice their equation solving skills on. Once students are comfortable with solving equations it might be interesting to have them create their own podcasts to share with other students.
